About

Seaford Town is a coastal community situated within the Lewes district, directly bordering the English Channel. The area is primarily residential, with a mix of housing types and local commercial streets serving daily needs. Its geography is defined by the expansive Seaford Beach and the nearby chalk cliffs of Seaford Head, which form a prominent natural backdrop. The town's layout is functional, centered around providing services for its inhabitants.

A defining characteristic is the presence of the Martello Tower, a historic defensive fortification built along the seafront. The area includes the tidal estuary of the Cuckmere River, which meets the sea to the east. Recreational space is provided by The Salts, a large green area near the shoreline. Transport links include a railway station connecting to larger regional centres.
