Seaham beach, Co Durham, UK. DJI Phantom 4 pro flight.
Flight towards the Northern end of the beach almost to Ryhope, a look at some of the rock features and back towards Seaham. Left it too late to get the harbour as well - too many people there, so maybe on another day - a lot earlier.

Seaham, formerly Seaham Harbour, is a small town in County Durham, situated 6 miles south of Sunderland and 13 miles east of Durham. It has a small parish church, St Mary the Virgin, with a late 7th century Anglo Saxon nave resembling the church at Escomb in many respects. St Mary the Virgin is one of the 20 oldest surviving churches in the UK. Seaham is currently twinned with the German town of Gerlingen.
The original village of Seaham has all but vanished; it lay between St Mary's Church and Seaham Hall (i.e. somewhat to the north of the current town centre). Until the early years of the 19th century, Seaham was a small rural agricultural farming community whose only claim to fame was that the local landowner's daughter, Anne Isabella Milbanke, was married at Seaham Hall to Lord Byron, on 2 January 1815. Byron began writing his Hebrew Melodies at Seaham and they were published in April 1815. It would seem that Byron was bored in wintry Seaham, though the sea enthralled him.
Seaham has fine beaches and transport links to the eastern coast. From 2001 most of the Durham coastline was designated as a heritage coast and Seaham beach was entirely restored. In 2002 the Turning the Tide project won, jointly with the Eden Project, the prize for Outstanding Achievement in Regeneration in the annual Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors awards. Seaham Hall is now a luxury hotel and spa.
In homage to the town's link to Lord Byron, the new multimillion-pound shopping complex, which now includes an Asda supermarket as well as Argos and Wilko stores, is named Byron Place. It aims to revitalise the area, using the successful redevelopment of the central shopping district of neighbouring town Peterlee as a benchmark. Asda officially opened on 3 September 2007 and the rest of the shopping centre opened in November 2007.
Today, the town is served by Seaham railway station, which lies on the Durham Coast Line, running from Middlesbrough to Newcastle upon Tyne, via Hartlepool, Stockton-on-Tees and Sunderland. Local bus services operated by Arriva and Go North East also provide access to the nearby towns of Murton, Peterlee and Houghton-le-Spring, as well as further afield to Sunderland, Newcastle upon Tyne, Durham, Darlington, Stockton-on-Tees and Middlesbrough. Seaham has one secondary school, without a sixth-form, called Seaham School of Technology.
To the south, beside the road to Dalton-le-Dale, are the remains of Dalden Tower, comprising the ruins of a 16th-century tower and fragments of later buildings. The harbour itself may be said to be the principal landmark of the nineteenth-century town; though the Londonderry Institute in Tempest Road (1853 by Thomas Oliver) with its monumental Greek-style portico provides something of a glimpse of the Marquess's original vision for the town. Of a slightly later date, the former Londonderry Offices on the sea front once served as headquarters for the mining and other businesses of the Londonderry family. A statue of the 6th Marquess stands in the forecourt. Also dating from an early stage in the town's development is the town-centre church of St John, Seaham Harbour (1835–40). For the very much older St Mary's, Seaham, and its neighbour Seaham Hall, see above.
For just over a hundred years the harbour was towered over by a 58 ft (18 m) lighthouse on Red Acre Point immediately to the north. Erected in 1835, it displayed a revolving white light above a fixed red light. It was decommissioned in 1905, when the harbour was expanded and the current black-and-white striped pier-head light was constructed. Red Acre lighthouse was left standing, however, to serve as a daymark, until 1940 when the whole structure was swiftly demolished in case it should serve to assist enemy navigators.

TOMMY - Seaham Harbour, County Durham, UK
The iconic Tommy, designed and built by Ray Lonsdale and situated in the north-east of England. Mission 1101, as it is also known, represents the first minute of armistice during World War One. The residents of Seaham Harbour were so taken by the statue that they raised £80,00 to keep it on site, after it was originally on loan to the former pit village. In November 2016, a poppy appeared next to Tommy, made of painted red pebbles that were gathered from the nearby beach.

Seaham Sea Glass Beach
Starting in the early 1800's, the Seaham glass bottle factory used to dump its waste glass offshore into the North sea. For over 100 years, the salty water, sand, and rocks polished the glass into smooth round pieces as they washed up unto the pebble beach head. Today, they are gems for those who make glass jewelry and tourist looking for a souvenir.
