Welcome to Coquet Island

Coquet Island is a small island located off the coast of Northumberland, England. The island is approximately 1.2 hectares in size and is home to a variety of wildlife, including seabirds, seals, and dolphins. The island is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and is managed by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB).

The island is particularly known for its seabird colonies, which include puffins, razorbills, and kittiwakes. The island is also home to a small population of grey seals, which can often be seen basking on the rocks around the island. In addition to its wildlife, Coquet Island is also home to a lighthouse, which was built in 1841 and is still in operation today.

Access to Coquet Island is restricted due to its status as an SSSI and the need to protect its wildlife. However, visitors can take boat trips around the island to see its wildlife and lighthouse. The island is also monitored by the RSPB, which conducts regular surveys of its wildlife populations to ensure their conservation. Overall, Coquet Island is a unique and important site for wildlife conservation in Northumberland and is well worth a visit for anyone interested in nature and wildlife.
