Seal spotted sunbathing on jet ski at marina

Seal spotted sunbathing on jet ski at marina highlights an unexpected waterfront moment captured on July 2, 2026, at Ipswich Beacon Marina in Suffolk, England. Video footage shows a seal lounging on top of a jet ski as it relaxes in the sunshine. The sight reportedly drew attention from berth holders and visitors at the marina. Marina staff said the jet ski owner gave the seal plenty of space during the encounter.
