"Garvan Cummins noted that the surfing seals have become very synonymous with Dungarvan, attracting many visitors and photographers who see them as an iconic symbol of the town."
"Sar'anne Walsh expressed that the surfing seals are such a draw for the town, and residents were devastated when the board floated out to sea, but were thrilled when it was returned."
A colony of around nine seals is frequently spotted surfing on a paddleboard in Dungarvan Harbour. These seals have become synonymous with the town, drawing many visitors and photographers. A local resident placed the surfboard in the river about 15 years ago, and locals maintain it for the seals. After the board floated away in July 2023, it was returned and cleaned, leading to the seals' return after nine months. Their presence continues to delight both locals and tourists alike.
