Seaham Hall Beach, famed for its historic sea glass, has become a magnet for beachcombers, walkers, and families looking for a day out.
Often dubbed “sea glass heaven” by visitors, Seaham Hall Beach offers more than just a typical seaside experience, according to those on TripAdvisor.
A legacy of Seaham’s Victorian glass industry, waves have tumbled colourful shards of sea glass for over a century, creating a beachcomber’s paradise.
“We found beautiful sea glass, marbles & stoppers, plus some of the famous multis,” wrote one delighted reviewer, who capped off their day with “gorgeous fish and chips from the chippy.”
It’s not just the glass that draws visitors.
The beach’s sweeping views, dramatic skies, and family-friendly charm make it ideal for a springtime visit.
“Gorgeous clean beach with stunning views!” raved another reviewer.
“We loved searching the Seaham beach for sea glass and did not want to leave.”
For those combining their beach day with a bit of culture and local flavour, the area around Seaham Marina doesn’t disappoint.
The town is home to quaint shops, the moving “Tommy” sculpture, and several coastal paths that stretch toward nearby Blast Beach and Blackhall, a little further down the coast, famously featured in Get Carter and Alien 3.
One TripAdvisor user shared: “We come by train and it’s a lovely little walk to the beaches. My son loves to look for sea glass.
“I highly recommend a visit to the lifeboat shop and also the lovely little gift shop on the marina.”
And for foodies? The reviews speak for themselves. “
We had lunch at the Fox & Tree. The food was outstanding, and I mean outstanding,” said a recent diner.
Whether you’re hunting for “hidden treasures in the sand”, strolling the “scenic seafront”, or simply relaxing with a warm drink from the North Beach café, Seaham Hall Beach is the “perfect Easter escape, offering beauty, history, and a little sparkle with every wave”, according to reviewers.
