Relaxed Harbour Seals Wall Art Prints
Relaxed Harbour Seals Gifts & Homewares
Harbour seals, also known as common seals, are the smaller of the UK’s two seal species, though their name can be misleading - they’re not as common as you might think. In fact, current estimates give their numbers at 55,000 - a third of the number of grey seals around Britain’s shores.
These charming creatures spend much of their time lounging on beaches, rocks, and sandbanks, but they’re also strong swimmers, often seen gliding through coastal waters. Each harbour seal has a unique pattern of spots on its coat, making it possible to tell individuals apart.
In British folklore, they were believed to be selkies - mythical creatures that could transform into humans. Today, their curious and playful nature makes them a much-loved symbol of coastal wildlife.
This pair of harbour seals, both with their eyes closed and heads leaned back, looks completely relaxed, soaking up the peaceful seaside atmosphere. Their carefree postures give the impression of pure contentment, as if they’re enjoying a well-deserved rest after a day of swimming. This serene scene is a perfect reminder to take a moment for yourself and enjoy life’s calm and simple pleasures.
Bring this tranquil duo into your home with wall art, or brighten someone's day with a greeting card or coffee mug featuring these blissfully relaxed seals!
