Seahouses is a compact coastal village on the Northumberland coast, known for its working harbour and as the jumping-off point for boat trips to the Farne Islands, which draw birdwatchers and seal-spotters. It sits within the civil parish of North Sunderland and the wider landscape of Northumberland - part of the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty - with long sandy beaches and views towards Bamburgh and Holy Island at low tide.
The local economy mixes fishing and tourism: a modest fleet and seafood stalls sit alongside cafes, pubs and seasonal accommodation, so the village is quiet in winter and lively in summer. Historically the settlement grew around the 19th-century harbour, and today it balances conservation and commerce, with strong community ties and a visitor-driven rhythm that celebrates the coastal heritage.
