Season: summer

Seaham Hall is where Lord Byron married the heiress Annie Milebanke in 1815.  This strand is also known as Seaham North Beach.  There is a promenade behind the beach, as well as a marina and shops, a long way from the industrial days of glass-making in the 1920’s.  The beach is mostly sandy and extends well to the north of the town, where you can find shops, cafes and pubs.
