Larger animals to look out for along Sandscale’s coastline are grey and common seals which are a real treat to spot if you’re out at the beach. These seals live in the Duddon estuary and off Lowsy Point. They feed on the fish in the estuary and enjoy the shallower waters. Grey seals now breed nearby on South Walney and common seals have been known to give birth to pups on sand banks within the Duddon Estuary.
