Seaham Beach is a pleasant stretch of rocky and sandy beach, with rocks pools a plenty. The dog-friendly beach stretches for approx. one mile along the town’s coastline, from the harbour wall to the north of the town. The beach can be viewed from above as you wander along the town’s clifftop coastal walk or from the accessible promenade which runs alongside part of the beach. It’s also known as a hot spot for sea glass collecting.
There is ample on and off street parking to be found along the Seaham Coast, with two main car parks at Seaham Hall Beach car park (SR7 7AF) and Vane Tempest car park (SR7 7WE).
