- I had a great idea to go snorkelling at carbs bay. When I arrived there were people swimming and seals in the water. I tried to keep as far away from the seals as possible but still managed to see them popping up for air around me.

Don’t forget to subscribe for more videos about CORNWALL and Falmouth I sometimes visit St Ives Cornwall and Padstow Cornwall too. Come here for everything from travel recommendations to beach reviews such as Perranporth Beach Cornwall. I also LOVE EXPLORING Cornwall’s coast line and the South West Coastal Path. Thank you for watching and commenting and liking the video.
Your videos bring back so many happy memories, macski, snorkeling, enjoying life every minute, second, the outdoors approach👍👌🙏🌟
This video gets my seal of approval😁 Sorry I couldn't resist😆✌
😂 classic
Yes!! The head shake transition 😄👍
I included that for you mate 👍
@@LoveSundays good man 😜. What thickness socks? And how did you manage with full foot fins? I have 3mm socks and I can get my open heel fins on ok.
Socks are 2mm but to be fair the fins fit better with the socks on than without.
@@LoveSundays My bad....ours are seac 2.5mm from Amazon not 3mm. Still need hoods though
We were there in June and a seal came really close to the shore. What a lovely site to see. Love Carbis Bay
Reminds me of late afternoon dips alone in rainy thunder weather, Jeffreysbay, SA...on the beach...no-one around
These videos are the highlight of my week
Thanks Steven
Cracking video again shaun. Buy the looks off the cour off the water you could have been anywhere in the world. Hope you had a nice evening down in St Ives.
Yea it was lovely Jon we ended up doing a live stream on my mates channel and then went to watch the shanty’s sadly I was the sober one though 😆
I was in st ives last year and went to carbis bay, i got some brillaint photos of the seals so close to the shore, great video
Brilliant video mate.
Thanks John 👍
Hi Shaun, great video and brilliant to see the seal...even if it was from afar 😉. How funny that you should bump into Wendall with his pint 🍻...thank goodness he didn't have to save you 😂. Great to see Carbis bay from the air too 👍💝🙏
It would’ve been a great video if Wendall swam out to save me 😂
Great video mate , some nice touches and editing. Say hello to the rascal Ollie 😁
He sends his love 😂
@@LoveSundays 😁
How very enjoyable and to top the night off you buddy came Wendell 😊 till the next one 😊
Thanks June glad you enjoyed the video. This video was shot just before the live stream last Saturday
Great video - we love Carbis Bay iand the seal was an added bonus.
Thank you for taking us along
Thank you for watching 😊 Caribs bay is beautiful isn’t it
@@LoveSundays Absolutely!!
Great video as usual Shaun.
Cheeeers👍🦊
Thanks Jon 🦊
You live the life man
Cheers Matt. We all have 2 lives and the second one starts when you realise you only have 1. I stole that quote of someone but not sure who 😂. I’m in my 30’s now so need to make the most of this stuff before I’m too old to go adventuring
Great Video Mate, I've never really had seals come close to me, while out snorkeling, but I'm sure it would be an amazing Experience! Really well done and edited video though mate, I enjoyed it👍
Thanks Alex. I’ve had a few seals pop up next to me whilst surfing at watergate bay a few years back but the dream would be to capture them swimming under the water
@@LoveSundays over the past couple of Summers, I've Been surfing Gwithian like every Day😆 but a seal Came and said hi, and a Dolphin went under my board so I've had a few encounters, but I totally agree, seeing them under the water would be Amazing
Hi I just wanted to mention there was a WhatsApp vid doing the rounds here in SA of a seal actually ATTACKING 2 people on a Cape beach !! It was quite shocking. I also wouldn't want to swim if there were seals around as they are the main "food" of sharks in our warm SAfrican waters. Similarly, when I see you snorkelling etc at dusk or in murky water - I almost shudder, as these are also prime attack conditions. I love your underwater vids - so colourful and interesting 🦋
Another good video mate 👍👍👍 and who doesn’t love sea shanty’s 👍👍👍👍
Thanks John glad you enjoyed it 👍
Great video. And fantastic sea colours 🥰 Sorry you were not approached by the seal 😭 I have actually snorkelled with seals on the Isles of Scilly. They sell guided rib boat tours to a place where the seals often are. And we were really lucky. The seals were very inquisitive and playful 🤩
I think I’ve seen that video you made of yourself swimming with seal Torunn 😊
Great video Shaun nice to see you on our coast pity you weren't approached by the seal. I have never met a seal while snorkeling it must be a great experience. There are always a lot of seals godrevy perhaps you should try it there sometime and the seascape is better. Thanks for sharing another great adventure now looking forward to the next one. 👍
Yea I think Godrevy would be a great shout Nigel. It’s only down the road from where I’m living now too.
Fab video - I'm here from the Film Booth live. Your editing is pretty good hey and love the drone shots, and the music. I have a travel channel in Mallorca - so doing similar, but would love to visit Cornwall one day (even though I grew up in Dorset, I've never been!).
Thank you. I’m so chuffed that Ed looked at my video and talked about making it better. Thanks for the compliments too. Cornwall is absolutely stunning but then so is Dorset and I’ve been to Mallorca but not since I was a kid stunning island
Nice one Shaun, I’d be scared of the seals haha have you seen their teeth!
Their Teeth can’t be any worse than mine Terry 😂
Another neat vid in the can. Are you using a different camera in the water Shaun?
I use a GoPro hero7 black when I’m in the water Sydney and the Canon M50 when not in the water
Fantastic video mate! Lizard point is another good spot for seals, loads of them there and they are super friendly 😁
Cheers mate I’ll have to check it out. Any particular beach down on the lizard?
I’ve watched seals from apartments I’ve stayed at on carbis bay they never get that close to swimmers they always seem quite far out, I have thought they look like they are eating something sometimes but can never zoom in on them well enough but I have seem a lot of crushed up crabs washed up on the beach in the morning when I’ve been for a walk down the beach and wondered they are the seals left overs?
hi folks
to posh over there for us pard
😆
Great video Shaun, I had the privilege once to snorkel with a young seal at Gwithian.
A very special experience for me and as you say it's for the seal to come to you, not for you to invade the seals terroity 👌
I bet that was amazing Andrew. I’ve never snorkelled at Gwithian I normally just surf there but I bet there’s a lot to see around that coast.
@@LoveSundays you should try round the rocks from the small beach at the very end nearest the lighthouse, on a calm summers day it's great 😎
Oh yes around to the Godrevy side?
@@LoveSundays that's the one 😎
Is it possible to swim from Carbis to Porthminster when the tide is low? Seems that at high tide, it could be dangerous because the waves could push you towards the rocks.
I think it is possible yes it is quite a long way to though 👍
Seemed like you had all the weather on this trip mate.
Yea mate it turned pretty quickly
But in SA we tend to keep distance as The GW's ....be Safe
Yea that’s fair. You don’t want to come across a great white
@@LoveSundays for sure not, be safe and take care always🙏
I usually check on the seals on our camper a couple times a month.... haha sorry for that awful joke, man... So, you have a death wish, do you? lol
Seals always need checking Kevin 😆. Apparently I do have a death wish 😂 thanks for watching
That water looks beautiful. It reminds me of being in the Bahamas. Do you have to worry about sharks at all?
We don’t tend to get too many sharks over here the water isn’t quite warm enough
