Visit Glass Beach

Glass Beach ( sometimes referred to as Seaham Hall Beach or Seaham North beach) is just north of Seaham, on the Durham coast. It is famous for sea glass collecting and attracts sea glass hunters from far and wide.

This beach is backed by the 5 star award winning spa hotel, Seaham Hall. Seaham Hall, famous for being the venue for the wedding of the romantic poet Lord Byron to Lady Annabella Milburn in 1815.

It is also home to the 7th century Saint Mary the Virgin Church, one of the oldest churches in the country.
