The beach is very long, with a lot of beautiful rocks hidden. I found a lot of very nice rocks here after a few hours of searching. There aren't that many people in some areas, but others are more crowded. There aren't any toilets here, so be prepared to walk for a while if you need to use it

Seaham Beach is a pleasant coastal spot that feels especially lively on a warm, sunny day. The atmosphere is relaxed and enjoyable, with plenty of space to walk along the shore and take in the sea views. I visited on a bright July weekend, and there were quite a lot of people enjoying the weather. Despite the warm air and sunshine, the water was surprisingly cold, which is typical for the North Sea even in summer. Overall, it’s a great place for a seaside walk and fresh air, with a nice balance of energy and natural coastal beauty.

Love this beach. My first time visiting on a cold February day, but I only came for the seaglass .. it didn't disappoint. There were lots of people on the beach on a Saturday, but still had your own space. I will be back to search some more.
