Both grey and harbour seals live in Thanet, and can be easily seen from the dunes at Pegwell bay.

About Smug

Sometimes they get beached along the shoreline in Margate too, and you might have even seen someone from British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDMLR) watching over them, to ensure that they are safe from contact with humans and domesticated animals in built-up areas.
