Visitors to Southend Pier are thrilled as seals make regular appearances during high tide
Southend: Seals are becoming quite the stars at Southend Pier. These charming creatures often pop up around the pier, and it’s always a treat to see them.
This month, folks have been lucky enough to catch sight of these adorable animals swimming nearby. It’s like a little show just for them!
The team at Southend Pier has even named this time of year “seal season.” They’re encouraging everyone to take a stroll down the pier for a chance to spot them.
Late-night visitors have been sharing their seal sightings, and a spokesperson mentioned that the best time to see them is during high tide. If you miss them, don’t worry—there’s a fun new post box topper to check out!
They’re open from Wednesday to Sunday, 10:15 AM to 5 PM, with the last entry an hour before closing. So, if you’re planning a visit, make sure to swing by southendpier.co.uk for more info.
Residents and tourists alike love seeing seals in the estuary. Just last January, people were amazed when a seal decided to take a little walk down the pier!
While the pier team helped the seal, they made sure the other visitors were taken back to land on the Sir David Amess train to keep the seal calm. How thoughtful is that?
