Park staff will be at the beach to help you spot seals basking along the shore at low tide. Although wildlife sightings are never guaranteed, we have a good chance of seeing seals if it’s a sunny afternoon.

Park at main dirt parking lot at 1861 State Road (Route 3A) in Plymouth. Follow signs to beach, about 0.5 miles.

Drop by anytime between 11:00 am and 1:00 pm; stay for as long as you like. Hot chocolate will be available, as well as a few other beach exploration activities in case the seals are shy.

Bring binoculars, if you have them. Best for curious adults and families with children ages 8+ years. All children must be accompanied by an adult.

Dress for the weather. No dogs, please. Program is free, no parking fees. No restrooms on site; plan accordingly. Inclement weather will cancel.

For more information or to confirm in case of questionable weather, call (508) 272-9376.
