Welcome to North Sunderland Harbour's official website

Probably better known now as Seahouses Harbour, North Sunderland Harbour (its correct title), began life as a small wooden jetty between two natural rock promontories.  It lies at the east end of the village of Seahouses in north east Northumberland in close proximity to the world famous Farne Islands. Nowadays, the harbour is enjoyed by thousands of visitors who come to visit the Farnes, go charter diving and angling or just to simply enjoy a pleasant stroll along the piers of this picturesque harbour. 

 We want you to enjoy your visit to the harbour but would like to point out that the harbour is a busy working harbour with many risks, some obvious some not so. 

 Please follow the instructions on signs around the harbour to stay safe.
