| Welcome!
A visit to Mablethorpe Seal Sanctuary offers a unique nature experience.
Walk through two acres of sand dunes – only fifty metres from
the sea – and gain first hand experience of some of the county’s
most stunning wildlife.
Seal Rescue
The Mablethorpe Seal Sanctuary has rescued hundreds of injured
and orphaned seals since it opened in 1974. In a specially designed
hospital, the seals are looked after until they can be released
back into the wild. For those unable to return, The Seal Sanctuary
offers a permanent home, doing all it can to give these wonderful
creatures a contented existence.
Wildlife Care
The wildlife hospital was opened in 1989 thanks to a major donation
from the readers of the Daily Mail along with support from dozens
of other businesses and individuals. As well as the grey & common
seals many other animals have since been treated in the hospital.
After a period of rehabilitation all the animals that can fend for
themselves are returned to the wild but those that cannot are given
sanctuary here. Look out for the foxes, badgers, barn owls and kestrels
that have been provided with a refuge in this natural environment.
