Texel Ecomare Seal Sanctuary Webcam

Texel Ecomare Seal Sanctuary

Ecomare is one of the most popular wildlife attractions on the Dutch island of Texel, located inside the beautiful Duinen van Texel National Park. The sanctuary rescues injured, sick, and orphaned seals from the Wadden Sea and North Sea, helping many of them recover before being released back into the wild. Ecomare is also a nature museum and aquarium where guests can learn about marine life, whales, seabirds, and the unique coastal ecosystem of the Wadden Sea. One of the most impressive exhibits is the giant whale skeleton display, which attracts families, photographers, and animal lovers from around the world. The sanctuary has been caring for seals for decades and is widely loved for combining wildlife rescue, education, and conservation in one unforgettable place.

The webcam at Ecomare looks directly at the sanctuary's outdoor seal pools where rescued seals can be seen swimming, floating, resting on the rocks, and playing in the water throughout the day. Viewers can enjoy close-up scenes of the animals in a natural coastal-style environment. During feeding sessions, the webcam becomes especially lively as staff members feed the seals and visitors gather to watch the activity. The camera often captures playful interactions between the seals as they dive underwater or sunbathe beside the pool.
