The coast between North Somercotes and Saltfleet welcomes thousands of seal pups each year from late October to December after hundreds of seals come to the shore to give birth.
About 20 pups are visible from the viewing path and Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust has a list of guidelines , externalon its website to reduce disturbance to the seals.
