Seaton Sluice and its small rocky harbour lie at the southern end of a long strip of sand, backed by dunes that stretch north all the way to Blyth. The beach is a gently sloping sandy resort beach backed by dunes and is the southernmost bathing beach of Northumberland. The designated bathing beach is approximately one kilometre long and is at the southern end of a four kilometre bay.
