A beautiful mural on the wall of the public bathrooms on Strand’s main beach has been painted in honour and memory of Freddy the Seal, a much-loved visitor on Strand Beach who tragically died in October from stress caused by the interference of humans.

A visibly exhausted and possibly malnourished seal pup that washed up three weeks ago along Strand Beach, just opposite the Hibernian Towers, is still receiving treatment at the Hout Bay Seal Rescue Centre and will hopefully be released back into the the ocean during August.
