Seahouses Harbour and Beach

Highlight • Beach

A large village nestled on the coast, Seahouses has a beautiful beach, fishing port and harbour. The village is a popular destination thanks to its rich sea wildlife such as seals and seabirds and as it is the point of embarkment to visit the Farne Islands. The village is a perfect place to whistle away time, enjoying the fresh sea breeze and an ice cream. It is also known for its kippers that have been produced locally in the village for over 200 years.
