Seal Walks at Cupsogue Beach County Park
Coastal Research and Education Society of Long Island (CRESLI) hosts seal walks at Cupsogue Beach. Seal season started in November and the colder it gets the more seals migrate here from up north. This 1.2 mile walk is great for a couple’s date or a family event. Watch as harbor seals play and enjoy the Long Island sand and water. Don’t forget to dress warm! Check out their schedule for dates and more information!
