A pebble beach with free parking has been dubbed lovely and peaceful by visitors.

Seaford Beach, just a stone's throw away from landmarks such as the Seven Sisters Country Park, is becoming arguably one of the most popular pebble beaches in the county.

On Tripadvisor, the beach has a number of five-star reviews, with an average rating of 4.5 out of five stars.

It has been ranked as the fifth best thing to do in Seaford, with a number of visitors praising the stretch of coastline for its cleanliness, atmosphere and free parking facilities.

One visitor wrote on the review website: "It’s just stunning, beautiful and has such great views. It is surely a place that has to be seen and walked along, it is one of my happy places."

Another person said: "One of my favourite beaches in England.

"It is so quiet and peaceful. Keep in mind that there are usually big waves though. Parking is free.

"There is a lovely long cliff walk to another beach, and to Seven Sisters which then leads to Beachy Head. There is also a walk along the coast.

"I love taking my dogs here to watch the sunset and drink coffee after a long walk along the cliffs. My perfect evening."

One woman from York wrote: "This is a broad expanse of shingle beach, very clean and lovely for a walk along the seafront.

"There is a large amount of free car parking immediately behind the beach and certainly at the time we were there, parking was plentiful and the beach fairly quiet despite the good weather."

Despite the wave of positive reviews, some visitors seem less than impressed with this area of Sussex coastline.

One person who visited this month and lives in the town wrote on Tripadvisor: "The once tranquil beach is now being ruined. Swarms of out of towners now visit and the amount of rubbish they leave is disgraceful.

"There is a constant battle with residents furious at the number of campervans who can sometimes dominate the seafront parking. Sadly there are more and more calls for paid parking because of the abuse by visitors."

The beach has almost 400 reviews on Tripadvisor so far.
