Seaham is a little seaside town in County Durham.
There was a fair on when we visited so instead we walked a little further and
ended up at a beach, looking down across a beautiful stretch of the Durham coast.
The descent to the beach is quite steep the way we came, but once we had walked
along the beach a bit, we saw some steps leading back to the top.
The tide was out while we were there, so there were
lots of little rock pools to look at, and, for the height of summer, the beach
was lovely and quiet.
