James Street Park

Honestly, if you’ve spent the morning on Seahouses beach and the kids still have energy left in them, James Street Park is the obvious next stop — it’s practically around the corner. There’s a solid little playground with slides, swings, and a climbing structure that’ll keep the 3-to-10 crowd busy while you actually sit down for five minutes. The picnic tables are handy if you’ve packed lunch, and the benches mean you can keep an eye on everything without hovering. The open grass field gives older kids room to run off whatever’s left, and the whole setup is relaxed enough that it feels like a proper local park rather than somewhere tourists stumble into.
