For optimum seal spotting come when the tide is out and take a pair of binoculars to peer down at them from a safe and kind distance. If you see more than 65 you’ll have broken our personal record.
The RSPB Nature Reserve at Hayle Estuary is home to so many different birds. Winter is one of the best times to visit Hayle Estuary. You can see flocks of Teals and Wigeons and maybe a vagrant Ring-billed Gull from North America. Each year, up to 18,000 migrant and wintering waterfowl flock to the Hayle estuary – especially during chilly weather as conditions in Cornwall are milder than everywhere else in the UK.
During spring and autumn, Hayle Estuary is a great place to spot migrant wading birds, gulls and terns. In summer, if you are lucky, you may catch sight of an Osprey.

Across the estuary from Hayle beach is Porthkidney Sands that is dog-friendly all year round and is miles long and wide when the tide is out.
