Rother District Council

Bexhill on Sea has a rich architectural history centred around Victorian & Edwardian design, it is surrounded by beautiful open countryside, historic attractions and a good selection of shops, restaurants and accommodation.

Bexhill Beach is a main attraction. Its long, gently sloping, shingle beach provides a great location for days out, leisurely walks and enjoying the activities on offer. The De La Warr Pavilion provides a focal point for visitors, offering events and year round entertainment.

Cooden Beach lies to the west of Bexhill and provides a secluded getaway, where you can enjoy a quieter beach area. Outside the Coast Award area you can enjoy windsurfing, kite surfing and other exciting water activities. Beach huts lie at Herbrand Walk and there is ample opportunity for bird watching.

Visitors should note that between November 2010 and September 2011 the Next Wave scheme will see improvement works to the area surrounding the Colonnade and Metropole Lawns. Please visit www.next-wave.org.uk for more details of how this scheme may affect your visit.

For further information about beach facilities at Bexhill please call our Coast Office on 01424 787924.

The busy sections of the foreshore are patrolled by additional seasonal staff during July and August but the Council does not employ lifeguards.

The Coast Award beaches all have detailed information signs giving details of the location of first aid/emergency services.
