About Horsey Gap

Horsey Gap’s long sandy beach is home to one of the largest and most accessible grey seal colonies in the uk. The seal pups start to arrive from late October and are at Horsey in great numbers during the winter seal pup season. All year round seals can be spotted either on the beach or swimming close to the shore.

During the Seal Pup Season, (end October to February), it is important not to disturb the seals or their pups so viewing is from the sand dunes and the designated ‘viewing platforms’ only. PLEASE note that during the seal pup season, it may be busy between 11.00am and 2.30pm at weekends and during school holidays.

The car park is pay and display. No campervans, minibuses, coaches, or any large vehicles are permitted.

Cars are charged at £3.50 for up to 2 hours, £5 for up to 4 hours and £7 for the day. Both card and coin payments are accepted. It is NOT National Trust.

During busy times, an overflow car park may be in use. At the overflow/field car park, cars are charged an all day flat rate of £5 (gates lock at 4pm).

Horsey Gap is a CAR ONLY carpark. There is no parking, or drop off near Horsey Gap for coaches, buses, minibuses, motorhomes, campervans, trailers, caravans or horseboxes. The nearest car park for coaches, buses, and other larger vehicles is Sea Palling, about 4 miles away.

Please can you keep your dogs on leads, particularly in the winter seal pup season, when viewing is from the dunes.
