Seaford beach

10 Kavita Patel

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!

Birling Gap Beach

10 Ariya Shaina

It's a beautiful place to enjoy the panoramic view of the Seven Sisters white cliffs. The available walks are conveniently located, neither too lengthy nor difficult. The staff at the visitor center are incredibly friendly and supportive. Additionally, there is a cafe where you can unwind in case the weather isn't favorable.

Cuckmere Haven

10 Lila B

This is one of my favorite places to be - I absolutely love it here. It's never too crowded, so it's easy to find a quiet spot to yourself. The views are absolutely stunning, especially during sunset and moonrise. It's about a 30-minute walk from either the car park or bus stop, but it's definitely worth it. Just a word of caution - if you're unsteady on your feet, it's probably best to avoid parking at the Barn carpark.

The warmest month during the year in this area is August, with the air temperature rising up to 20.2°C and the water temperature up to 17.9°C. The coldest month is January, with the air temperature dropping down to 7.7°C and the water temperature down to 9.3°C.
