👍 Nice place for a walk. Few good coffee shops, amazing ice cream by the pier. Do have a bit of the sand further on the right from the pier too. Some attractions for toddlers and gaming machines for even adults. You can find free parking near by too.

Seaford Beach

Public beach

👍👍 We often go to Seaford for a walk along the fantastic promenade, find a seat up the hill at the end for a snack, and enjoy the stunning views back towards Newhaven. The promenade is long, wide and level, (like you find in Spain!), and is dotted with occasional cafés and little shack-shops selling in...
