At the 2006 census, the area had a population of 131 persons.

Resistance to commercialisation
Seal rocks save seal rocks

Seal Rocks is well known for its peaceful resistance to attempts by developers to commercialise the small picturesque fishing village. On entering the town by the road, the slogan “Save Seal Rocks The Last Frontier” can be seen painted on the road itself, this has been continually repainted for over 30 years. Currently the local council is making an attempt to commercialise the small caravan park, and a movement is once again growing against this.[7]

The 2013 movie Adore was filmed at this location.
