About Horsey Gap

Horsey Gap’s long sandy beach is home to one of the largest and most accessible grey seal colonies in the uk. The seal pups start to arrive from late October and are at Horsey in great numbers during the winter seal pup season. All year round seals can be spotted either on the beach or swimming close to the shore.

During the Seal Pup Season, (end of October to end January) it is important not to disturb the seals or their pups so viewing is from the sand dunes and the designated ‘viewing platforms’ only.

The car park is pay and display. Cars are charged at £3.50 for up to 2 hours, £5 for up to 4 hours and £7 for the day. Both card and coin payments are accepted. It is NOT National Trust.

Horsey Gap is a CAR ONLY carpark. There is no parking, or drop off near Horsey Gap for coaches, buses, minibuses, motorhomes, campervans, trailers, caravans or horseboxes. The nearest car park for coaches, buses, and other larger vehicles is Sea Palling, about 4 miles away.

THE SITE IS NOT SUITABLE FOR ANY LARGE VEHICLES

Opening times are 8am to 6pm from October to March and 8am to 8pm from April to September. PLEASE note that the carpark is small, and it may be busy between 10.45am and 2.30pm at weekends and during school holidays, particularly in the winter seal pup season.

There is strictly no overnight parking or camping – and no barbeques.  The area is free from any amusements or seaside attractions, but is instead surrounded by beautiful countryside and a wild, yet stunning coastline.

Please can you keep your dogs on leads, particularly in the winter seal pup season, when viewing is from the dunes.

PLEASE TAKE YOUR LITTER HOME.

NB There are no toilets on site. 

Horsey Estate accepts no liability for loss or damage which might occur on site.
