Seaford Head Beach

Seaford Head Beach - East Sussex
© Oast House Archive and licensed for reuse under this Licence

The little cove under Seaford head is divided from the main beach by a large groyne and a jetty. Backed by the sheer chalk cliffs of Seaford Head Nature Reserve there is a small strip of shingle here.
Care should be taken when sitting under the cliffs - they are white because they are constantly eroding, so falling rocks are not unknown.

Like other beaches along this stretch of chalk cliffs Seaford is a good spot for fossil hunting.

Access to the beach is via steep steps from the nature reserve above where free parking is available throughout the year.
