This coastal walk is well worth it. A beautiful walk with lots of contrast, costal paths, woodland trails and small secluded beaches. If you are very lucky you can see either dolphins or porpoises. Plenty of lovely places to eat and drink in Seaham. It’s a must to go and see the statue of Tommy the soldier.

Hiking

I always love this coastal walk. I tend to park a bit further away in the 1st car park on top of the hill, when 1st coming into Seaham. Then walk all the way to Blast Beach.
If no one knew either, Blast Beach was used/inspired in the film Alien 3. Due to the director being a Northern lad.
