context_page_description: Seaton Carew is a seaside resort in County Durham, North East England, with a population of 6,018. It is situated on the North Sea coast on the edge of Hartlepool and the mouth of the River Tees. It is administered as part of the Borough of Hartlepool. The area is named after a Norman French family called Carou who owned lands in the area and settled there,
  while 'Seaton' means farmstead or settlement by the sea.
context_section_description: On the coast in the north of Seaton a promenade now allows visitors to walk from Seaton Carew to Hartlepool Marina.
  This promenade gives unrestricted views across the North Sea and on a clear day down to Whitby.
  Along the coastline is the Hartlepool Submerged Forest, a Site of Special Scientific Interest.
  To the south, close to the slipway is the old lifeboat station—now living accommodation.
  In the south of Seaton Carew, along 'The Front' are the shops, restaurants, cafes, chip shops and arcades that might be expected of a seaside resort.
  Holy Trinity Church, formerly a chapel in the middle of the village was consecrated in 1831 giving the village its first proper school and the church was restored in 1891.
  The listed buildings in Seaton Carew are the Church of the Holy Trinity on Church Street,
  the bus station and shelters, Marine Hotel, and Seaton Hotel on The Front,
  houses in South End
  and a telephone kiosk, various hotels and private houses around The Green
  including Green Terrace.
  In southern Seaton Carew is the bus station with renovated grade II listed art deco clock tower and shelters.
  South of this is a beachside car park overlooking Seaton Carew Wreck, the protected remains of a wooden collier vessel on the beach below the tide line.
  There are numerous other wrecks both in the beach and just off shore.
  Further south east beyond the village is Seaton Carew Golf Course.
  The course is sandwiched between the coastal sand dunes and Seaton Common marsh, all known collectively as Seaton Dunes and Common an SSSI.
  The coastal dunes lead south-east to North Gare breakwater, a concrete pier built between 1882 and 1892 protecting the northern side of the mouth of the Tees.
  Second World War anti-tank blocks still remain on the beach on the seaward side of the breakwater, and the breakwater itself is fenced off as part of its concrete surface is in a dangerous condition after a partial collapse.
  Due south of the breakwater is Seaton Snook a promontory into the mouth of the Tees that has lent its name to other areas of land close by.
  To the west of Seaton Carew is the Durham Coast Railway Line and the Seaton Carew railway station.
