Seaford Bay Beach

Visit Seaford Bay Beach

Seaford is an unspoilt shingle beach on the East Sussex coast between Brighton and Eastbourne, a couple of hours drive from Central London. The beach stretches about 4 miles along the coastline, starting near Newhaven Harbour in the west and extending to Seaford Head in the east.

You can go swimming, kayaking, fishing, and cycling along the promenade. The beach is also popular for picnics and leisurely walks.

Along the beachfront near Frankies Cafe are a selection of colourful beach huts, available for hire. The huts are available during the holiday season and can be booked for a fun seaside day out, with prices varying by season.

History buffs can visit the Seaford Museum, a Martello tower on the beach with displays on local history and heritage.

There is plenty of parking along the seafront with disabled access to the promenade and a few small kiosks selling snacks and refreshments.

To the southern end of the beach is the Seaford Golf Course, perfect for a game of golf with a sea view.

Seaford Beach is generally dog-friendly, allowing dogs on most parts of the beach throughout the year. However, there is a seasonal restriction in place for the central section of the beach, between Salts recreation field and the Martello Tower, where dogs are prohibited from May to September. During this time, dogs must be kept on a lead in other areas of the beach.

For the rest of the year, dog owners can enjoy the wide stretch of shingle beach, making it a popular spot for walks with pets.
