Seatown Beach

Seatown Beach is a popular destination located along a scenic coastline. The beach is privately owned and known for its tranquil atmosphere, often described as fairly quiet. It is a pebble beach, which can make walking a bit challenging, so beach shoes are recommended. The water is described as lovely, though it can be fairly cold due to the nature of the beach. Swimmers should be aware that the beach has a shelf in the water, causing it to suddenly get deep. This, along with the absence of a lifeguard, makes it less suitable for small children to paddle. However, the beach is a popular spot for paddle boarding. The beach is also known for its fossil hunting opportunities. Visitors are advised to be careful near the cliffs as they can be unstable, but many fossils can be found just lying on the shore. For those seeking more than a beach day, the location also offers the challenge of cliff top walks. Amenities at Seatown Beach include a beach bar offering coffee, gelato, and wood-fired pizza. There is also a pub nearby with highly praised food. Public toilets and a beachfront sauna are available for visitors' convenience. A well-stocked Spar is located within a 2-minute walk of the beach, offering an alternative for refreshments. Parking at the beach is available for a fixed price, payable by cash or card. The parking area is well operated, though the access down the lane can be tight, with some passing places. Wheelchair users should be aware that the beach itself may not be suitable for them, and the wooden bridge crossing the little stream near the parking area has a large step and a flight of seven steps. The road entrance is recommended for wheelchair access.
