A quick getaway by jet ski?
With that blue, blue water and matching sky, you could be excused for thinking I’m somewhere exotic. Well, it’s a matter of definition. Seaham, on England’s north east coast, was enjoying a rare balmy day.
You can walk along the cliff top, or the promenade, down by the beach
It’s a nice little town
With an industrial heritage
And it’s the start point for my venture into Cee’s Which Way photo challenge. There’s so much more I could tell you about Seaham, but I’ll save it for another day. I know Cee rather likes a sign. I almost captured this one.
Don’t you love a coastal footpath?
I wonder where else Cee might take me. Click on the logo below or the links and we’ll go and see.

Immediately assumed this was Portugal when I saw wide stretch of blue! Gorgeous though. I will champion the British coast any day.

One of my favourite places to walk is a costal footpath. It always feels so peaceful even if the wind is wild….and feels far removed from everyday worries 🙂

Mine too, Seonaid. The beaches on this stretch around Seaham aren’t so good, but the views up and down the coast are superb. 🙂

Lovely set of photos, Jo. I’ve never heard of Seaham. The North East Coast you say, and formerly industrialised. Are we talking around the Hull area?

Quite a lot north of Hull, Izzy. Just south of Sunderland, if you’ve heard of that? If not, 15 or so miles south of Newcastle on Tyne. Thank you 🙂

You’re welcome, Amy. I just posted the follow up, which gives a fuller picture of Seaham. It’s really a success story from the mining village it once was. 🙂

Hi Sonel 🙂 It’s a real success story because it’s a former mining village and was near derelict for a long time. It’s raining again today so I’m writing a follow up post of the marina. Got to look for the silver linings.

It’s a former mining village that was very run down for a lot of years, Dianne. It’s developing a bit of a marina and I shall do a full walk around later. Just this challenge didn’t lend itself to that. Sunshine improves anywhere 🙂

Sorry, Rich. Normality restored with this morning’s rain. 🙂
It’s a former pit village that’s had a bit of money spent on it. Not doing too badly, except the weather. Can’t grumble after the last couple of weeks.
