Seaford is a compact seaside town on the south coast, part of the Lewes district in East Sussex, England. It sits beneath the chalk slopes of the South Downs and looks out over the English Channel, with a long promenade, pebble beach and the nature-rich Seaford Head cliffs that attract walkers and birdwatchers.

Historically a small fishing and trading port whose harbour suffered from coastal change, Seaford expanded in the Victorian era and remains a mix of local shops, tourism and a commuting population who travel to places such as Brighton and Lewes. The town has a lively community vibe with sailing, coastal wildlife, and seasonal events keeping life by the sea active rather than sleepy.
