CRESLI 2022-2023 Seal Walks at Cupsogue Beach will begin in on December 3, 2022!
We've had 30,651 seal encounters at Cupsogue Beach since our studies began in 2006 (502 trips)! Join us this autumn through spring (our 18th year at Cupsogue) to observe, photograph, and learn about Long Island's seals.
These 1.2 miles round trip walks are suitable for children and take about 1 to 1.5 hours. Learn from experts and see how citizen science works!
Registration for seal walks is required! Make your reservation here

Please be prepared for the weather, i.e., wear warm clothing in layers. Hats, gloves, warm waterproof shoes are recommended, as are cameras and binoculars.
Check the weather for Westhampton Beach and assume that the winds will produce wind chill. It’s better to be a more-on, than a less-on, i.e., having more layers than you need is the right thing.
