Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Seaford beach (East Sussex) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Seaford beach (East Sussex) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Seaford beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.

This beach is a sight to behold. However, be aware that the beach is covered in stones, so it's not advised to enter the water without proper footwear. The stones can be quite painful to walk on, so make sure to keep your belongings close and your shoes even closer. The beach is surrounded by a few colorful huts, some of which are shops and others that may be available for rent. There is also a restroom in the vicinity, although I did not personally use it. This beach is perfect for sunbathing and enjoying the beautiful views and stunning scenery. It's also the starting point for the hike from Seaford to Seven Sisters. There are a few hotels nearby, as well as some off-road markets, cafes, restaurants, and pharmacies. While some people do swim in the water, it's not a particularly popular activity at this beach. However, it's only a short two to four-minute walk from the train station, so you don't have to travel far to enjoy the stunning sea views. The water is crystal clear and beautiful, so don't forget to bring your sunscreen and bathing suit. If you're planning on hiking, it's best to start earlier in the day so that you can rest at intervals and take some incredible photos along the way. Enjoy your trip to this beautiful beach, and have a wonderful day!

Last summer, I had the pleasure of visiting a stunning beach that left me with nothing but fond memories. Despite the sweltering heat, the beach was not overcrowded, unlike other popular destinations like Brighton. The Seven Sister Cliffs were just a short stroll or drive away, and the breathtaking views of the countryside and coastline were worth the effort. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and hope to return soon. One of the little things that made my experience more enjoyable was the free seafront car park, which was just a minute's walk from the beach.
