Seaford

English coastal settlement

Seaford is a place name shared by several towns and localities, most notably a coastal town in East Sussex, England, and a hamlet on Long Island, New York.

The name combines "sea" with "ford," suggesting a crossing point near the coast.

We spent the weekend in Seaford.
