Worthing Beach

Worthing’s seafront is based on its Historic Pier, which opened on 12 April 1862 and has five miles of a vibrant palm-tree-lined promenade, including an exciting splash point and Lido, making for a super fun day at the beach.

The gently sloping beach at Worthing is sand and shingle, with most of the sandier parts being covered as the tide moves in. This means the low tide is a great time to visit with kids, as there are also some rock pools uncovered. Although there is no lifeguard service, many fun activities can be enjoyed on the beach, including fishing, windsurfing, and swimming. It is a delightful seaside town with various shops and cafes.

There’s also the Dome cinema by the seafront, one of the oldest working cinemas in the UK and it has been operating since 1911. The Worthing Festival is held during the last two weeks of July each year, and it includes a fairground along the town’s promenade. There is a café on the Pier, and the Pavilion Theatre sits at the end and is a Grade II Listed Building.
