Seahouses is a large village on the Northumberland coast in England. It is about north of Alnwick, within the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
==Attraction== Seahouses attracts many visitors, mainly from the north east of England. National and international tourists also visit Seahouses while visiting the Northumberland National Park, the Northumberland Coast, and the Farne Islands. Seahouses also has a working fishing port, which also serves the tourist trade, being the embarkation point for visits to the Farne Islands. From shops in the town and booths along the harbour, several boat companies operate, offering various visitor packages. These may include landing on at least one Farne, seeing seals and seabirds, hearing a commentary on the islands and the Grace Darling story, or scuba diving on the many Farne Islands wrecks. Grace Darling's brother is buried in the cemetery at North Sunderland. He died in 1903, aged 84. The current Seahouses lifeboat bears the name Grace Darling.
