Seaford Central covers the town's core commercial and residential streets, centred on the Broadway shopping area.

It stretches inland from the seafront up to the railway line, containing the key bus routes and pedestrianised sections that facilitate daily town life.

Residential roads branch off from the central spine, with local schools and churches integrated into the neighbourhoods. The ward's boundaries are largely formed by natural and transport features, including the River Ouse to the west.
