NYC’s Wildest Winter Tradition
Did you know you can see wild harbor seals in The Bronx? As the waters cool, these marine mammals migrate to the Long Island Sound. This unique nature event is a standout in our January Event Calendar.
The Event
The Urban Park Rangers host Winter Seal Watch events at Pelham Bay Park throughout January. Using spotting scopes, you can observe seals sunning themselves on the rocks near Orchard Beach.
Know Before You Go
Dress in layers! It is windy on the coastline. These events are free but often require registration via the NYC Parks website.
