beans boat trips

Beans Means Seals and lots of ‘em. Book a seal watching boat trip at Blakeney Quay or more easily by ‘phone, turn up the next day at Morston Quay and be whisked away (more like chugged away) in one of the bright white and orange Beans boats.
Superb setting, eye level with Morston Salt Marshes along the meandering waterway to emerge out into the deeper Blakeney Channel. Choppy and windy, so don’t forget your warm clothes and if sitting at the front of the boat, a waterproof for the showers of spray.
On past the old coastguard station on Blakeney Point, keenly looking for the first seal sighting, like Captain Ahab but with less bloodthirsty thoughts.
Thar she blows! A seal, peering back from just ahead, bobbing in the swell, cheeky as you like. Continue round Blakeney Point and there’re all her brothers and sisters and the rest. Seals too many to count, lumbering out of the surf, fighting in the water, lazing on their backs in the sun, small ones, big ones, pups.
Amazing, Sir David Attenborough eat your heart out, don’t need the North Pole, just pop along to Blakeney Point in Norfolk!
