It’s no wonder why visitors flock to the area to spot their favourite animals so read on to hear our tips and tricks to join in on the action!
Home to one of just two Puffin colonies in Cornwall but that’s not it! You can also spot other seabirds, seals, dolphins, and even whales!
Probably one of the most popular spots for seal watching! Walk along the coastline at low-tide and you could spot groups of grey seals lounging in the coves.
The perfect spot for some of the larger marine animals like Basking Sharks, Minke Whales, and Orcas! Falmouth also acts as a starting point for a number of ‘sea safaris’ where you can set out to sea with seasoned wildlife spotting experts!
