Seaford

The coastal area around Lewes, East Sussex is some of the most beautiful in the country; it’s where the South Downs meets the sea along dramatic, channel-lashed cliffs and sprawling shingle beaches.

Seaford is a genteel town with a colourful past. It was once a thriving port, earning Cinque Port privileges as a limb of Hastings. Smuggling and ship wrecking were rife, with wreckers nicknamed ‘Seaford Shags’. Seaford is situated in a beautiful location presiding over the wide sweep of Seaford Bay under the distinctive chalk landmark of Seaford Head.

Situated a short walk from Seaford train station and close to cafes and shops, Seaford beach is a great place to visit for a fresh blast of sea air or a quick play on the stones. Peppered with brightly painted beach huts and a couple of seafront cafes, the beachfront is unadulterated seaside fun.

Seaford Museum

Seaford Museum is housed in Martello Tower no.74, which is situated at the eastern end of Seaford seafront. Nicknamed the Tardis by its visitors, there is a deceptive 5,000 square feet of display area which includes the roof with cannon, entrance floor with museum shop, the lower floor of the tower and the covered dry moat area.

Crouch Gardens

Known locally as The Crouch, this is a peaceful walled garden and open space located in the heart of town on the site of a former medieval market. The park is home to the Crouch Bowls Club and Seaford Town Football Club.

Seaford Beach

Seaford Beach is a rural beach, as opposed to a resort beach, and as such the lifeguards are not always on duty.
