Hello from the sticker at Seaford: the Martello Tower and Splash Point. Here's what we know, for you and your dog. More dog-friendly places nearby
Cleo & Bonnie haven't logged this one yet. The line is ours, drawn on Seaford's streets and the Esplanade as OpenStreetMap maps them. Nobody from the project has walked it for the site yet.
By train
Up to two dogs travel free with each passenger. Dogs stay on a lead on the train and at the station, and never on the seats.
National Rail Conditions of Travel, condition 24 (valid from 30 July 2026); National Rail's station pages.
The stiles
Streets and the promenade, so none.
Livestock
None.
The ground
Flat pavements and the promenade. The beach below is steep shingle, and the tide runs along the shore; chalk falls from Seaford Head beyond Splash Point, so keep off the beach under the cliffs.
For dogs
From 1 May to 30 September a byelaw bans dogs from part of the seafront: from Frankie's Beach Café west to the start of the Bönningstedt Promenade at Edinburgh Road (Seaford Town Council). This loop stays east of Frankie's, outside that stretch, and dogs can use the promenade on a lead. Signs along the promenade show 'Dogs on Leads' or 'No Dogs allowed'. The rest of the year, the whole beach is open to dogs.

Mud, animals, how busy: a few taps. The answers (never your words or name) show here for three weeks, to help the next walker.
The route
Start Seaford station
The line is on our map. It goes from the station down through the town to the Martello Tower, east along the Esplanade to Splash Point, back west to Frankie's Beach Café at West View and up to the station. The distance is the length of that line, and the time is an estimate for an easy stroll. Neither has been paced out on the ground.
Lewes Dogs. The dog rules are Lewes District Council's byelaw, as Seaford Town Council describes it · Byelaw details from our beaches research (3-5 Oct 2026) and Seaford Town Council (search extracts, 27 Oct 2026). The line from OpenStreetMap, read 27 Oct 2026.
