  • The little cove under Seaford Head is divided from the main beach by a large groyne and a jetty. Backed by the sheer chalk cliffs of Seaford Head Nature Reserve there is a small strip of shingle here.

    Care should be taken when sitting under the cliffs - they are white because they are constantly eroding, so falling rocks are not unknown.

    Like other beaches along this stretch of chalk cliffs Seaford is a good spot for fossil hunting.

    Access to the beach is via steep steps from the nature reserve above where free parking is available throughout the year.
