Seaton Carew Beach
About
Seaton Carew is a quintessential North East seaside resort located on the North Sea coast of County Durham, just north of the River Tees. With a four‑mile stretch of golden sand, a historic promenade lined with arcades, cafés and traditional fish‑and‑chip shops, the beach offers both relaxing sunbathing and lively seaside entertainment. The village retains its 19th‑century charm, featuring the Seaton Carew Lifeboat Station (now living accommodation), the bustling “The Front” and the tranquil open parkland of The Green. Whether you’re strolling along the water‑edge, trying local fare, or taking in the coastal scenery, Seaton Carew delivers a classic English beach experience for visitors of all ages.
