Seahouses is a lively place and welcomes a large number of holiday-makers each year.

There's accommodation of every type: from caravans and camping, to guest houses, bed and breakfast and hotels. The main street includes gift shops, tea-rooms and amusement arcades.

Seahouses is the departure point for boat trips to the Farne Islands and a centre for sailing, diving and fishing.

A walk around the busy harbour is one of the highlights of any visit and is traditionally done with a bag of fish and chips. Though watch out for the seagulls!

There's a sandy beach to the north, which gets busy in summer. In fact, the sands run unbroken from Seahouses to Bamburgh (below) -- providing an enjoyable walk for the more energetic visitor.
