Australian Fur Seals at Capel Sound Foreshores

The most predominant species of fur seal seen in Port Philip Bay is the Australian Fur Seal. They can typically be seen resting on the beaches along the Mornington Peninsula and our very own beach along Capel Sound Foreshores.

Yes, these animals are amazing to look at, but it is important to remember that they are wild animals and can be dangerous if they feel threatened. If you do encounter a seal resting along the beach, you MUST keep a distance of 50m when you are with a dog which MUST be on a lead for both their safety and the seals safety.
