Observe wintering seals in their natural habitat! From November to April, a state park naturalist will lead visitors on a 3-mile hike along the beach and through a wooded trail to a secluded area on Block Island Sound where seals can be seen hauled-out on the rocks. Along the hike, there will be opportunities to see wintering ducks and explore marine geology. Dress warmly and bring binoculars! Hikers will meet at the Office/Restroom building in the lower parking lot of Montauk Point State Park.

Please arrive 10 minutes before the start time. Wear clothing appropriate for the weather and comfortable shoes for hiking. Hike times vary from 1 to 3 hours depending on the mileage. Strollers are not recommended. Masks are required. There is a $4 fee to join any hike.
