About

Seaford East ward is a coastal residential area forming part of the town of Seaford. It is bordered by the English Channel to the south, with a long shingle beach and the concrete promenade of the Esplanade. Inland, the ward is characterised by suburban housing, local shops, and schools serving the community. The area includes the lower slopes of the South Downs, providing a distinct backdrop to the neighbourhood's streets.

The ward contains the recreational space of The Salts, a large area of grassland historically used for salt production.

Seaford Head, with its chalk cliffs and golf course, marks the eastern boundary, separating the area from the Cuckmere estuary. Local facilities are concentrated along Sutton Park Road and in the vicinity of the railway station, which connects the ward to Brighton and London.
