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 contended and full existence.
Wildlife Care
Other native wildlife are also cared for at the Seal Sanctuary due to injury or because they are not able to fend for themselves, so why not look out for the foxes, badgers, barn owls, Monkeys, kestrels and even mice 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 and visitors can marvel at a world of dinosaurs, fossils and plant life as well as seeing living descendants of Lincolnshire’s prehistoric past. A Yacare Caiman (a crocodilian that has changed little in 200 million years), emus, peafowl and parrots in our enormous new aviary, lynx in their award winning “Ice Age” enclosure and from more recent times, wildcats, eagle owls and snowy owls.
Conservation Commitment
At its heart The Seal Sanctuary is committed to conserving nature. Every person who visits is contributing towards the care of animals and our aim is that every visitor will leave with a better understanding of the natural world we live in and will be inspired to tackle the challenges ahead.
