About

Seaford South ward covers the southern portion of the coastal town of Seaford. The area is primarily residential, featuring a mix of housing types from post-war estates to older terraced homes. Its boundary is defined by the coastline along the English Channel, providing direct access to the extensive shingle beach. The local landscape is marked by the prominent presence of Seaford Head, a chalk cliff formation that rises to the east.

The ward contains key local amenities including the town's main railway station, offering connections along the Sussex coast. Recreational spaces are centred on the seafront, with a large recreational ground and the tidal Martello Lake for boating. The area's geography is significantly influenced by the mouth of the Cuckmere River, which meets the sea just beyond its eastern edge, creating a distinctive estuarine environment.
