About

Seaton ward occupies the northern coastal edge of Hartlepool, characterised by a mix of residential housing and open landscapes. The area includes the suburb of Seaton Carew, a traditional seaside settlement with a long beachfront. Inland, the terrain becomes more rural with areas of farmland. The ward is bordered by the North Sea to the east and the Tees Bay to the north, defining its geography.

A notable local landmark is the Seaton Carew Lighthouse, a white-painted tower situated near the promenade. The area's economy has historical links to fishing and coastal trade. The extensive sandy beach and dune system provides a significant natural buffer against coastal processes, shaping the community's relationship with the sea.
