Horden Beach & Seaham Beach

A visit to Horden Beach and Seaham offers a refreshing mix of wild coastal beauty and traditional seaside charm along the Durham Heritage Coast. Horden Beach feels rugged and peaceful, with dramatic cliffs, wide open skies and the sound of waves rolling onto the shore, making it perfect for a quiet walk or a moment to unwind. Following the coastal path north brings you to Seaham, where the atmosphere becomes livelier around the harbour and promenade. Seaham is well known for its sea glass treasures, colourful cliffs, and welcoming cafés overlooking the North Sea. Together, they make for a rewarding coastal outing that combines scenic walking, photography opportunities and a touch of local history.
