We have been established for nearly 50 years!
Gweek in Cornwall has been the home to The Seal Sanctuary for nearly fifty years.
Our mission is to rescue and provide expert care for sick, injured, or distressed seals and other marine animals in need of help who are found around our shores. After rehabilitation, we release them back into their natural environment once they are back to full health. Each year, we rehabilitate over 70 grey seal pups from local coastal waters and bring them into our specialist Seal Hospital.
Alongside our resident seals, we have just welcomed ten Icelandic rescue Puffins from our sister Beluga Whale Sanctuary in Iceland. We are the only place in the UK where you can see rescue puffins up close. Join us at Puffin Island to enjoy watching these characterful birds and hear their rescue stories.
