Seaham Beach Info | Durham Coast

Seaham Beach is a long stretch of sand sitting beneath grassy cliffs and is part of the Durham Heritage Coast. The beach is also called Seaham North Beach.

Seaham Beach is an all-year-round, dog-friendly beach.

Seaham was the location of the largest glass bottle works in Britain, which closed down in 1921 —founded by John Candlish in 1853 under the patronage of the 4th Marquess of Londonderry. During the operation, any glass waste was dumped into the sea, making this one of the UK’s best locations for finding sea glass.

You have parking at various positions along the seafront and facilities include toilets, a picnic area and a pub.

As you move towards the harbour and Red Acre Beach you get the main part of the town with a selection of places to eat.

The beach is often used for sea angling competitions along with the North pier of the harbour.
