Fishing

Seaton Sluice angling-club reports and match results confirm substantial local fishing for flounder and winter cod, including river and harbour-associated areas. The available evidence does not reliably tie species and tactics to the exact statutory bathing-water beach coordinates. Publish the beach as fishing-research incomplete and create separate harbour/river sub-zones when exact access is verified.

Crabbing

rock pooling only — Secondary local information reports small crabs in beach rock pools. No permitted and edge-assessed line-crabbing location was verified in the harbour.

Access & parking

Use the established signed beach access from the named settlement or coastal car park; check tide and temporary safety notices.
