Bempton Cliffs, Yorkshire
Half a million seabirds squawk along these towering cliffs each summer, including the nation's beloved clown-faced puffins. Bring binoculars and a windproof jacket.
Mousehole, Cornwall
This postcard-perfect village offers grey seal sightings right from the harbour wall, plus the occasional basking shark out at sea. Cream tea optional but recommended.
Cromer, Norfolk
Famous for its sweet crabs and end-of-pier shows, Cromer also boasts brilliant little tern colonies and seal trips just up the coast at Blakeney Point.
Oban, Scotland
This bustling west coast harbour is your launchpad to spot otters, white-tailed eagles and porpoises across the Inner Hebrides. Seafood shack queues are part of the charm.
Tenby, Pembrokeshire
Hop on a boat to Skomer Island for puffins galore, or watch dolphins from the colourful clifftops. The donkey on the beach is a bonus.
