A Strange year
60 seals were treated by the Sanctuary in 2008, making it the first time for many years that numbers have dropped.

Seal and Animal Sanctuary
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. 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. The original seal hospital, which was opened in 1989, has now become too small to accommodate the large number of seals which the Sanctuary rescues every year. We are currently in the construction stages of a new bigger and improved seal hospital to compliment the existing one. Find out more
Wildlife Care
Other native wildlife are also cared for, so look out for the foxes, badgers, barn owls and kestrels that have been given refuge in this natural environment.
Time Walking
As well as conservation, education also plays an important part of the Seal Sanctuary's role in the community and visitors will find the natural history projects both fascinating and inspirational. Two walk-through features take a journey back in time
