Shoreham-by-Sea Beach
The beach at Shoreham-by-Sea lies immediately to the west of the historic harbour, where the River Adur enters the sea. It is backed by Beach Road and a number of residential buildings.
The large beach, which slopes quite steeply in parts, is composed of a mixture of shingle with occasional rocky areas. At low tide a large expanse of wet sand and shingle is exposed.
Shoreham-by-Sea beach is used by windsurfers, sailors and kite surfers, as well as being used by walkers. The Monarch’s Way long-distance footpath runs close to the beach.
Behind the beach are a couple of grassy areas, once of which has a children’s play area.

Oct 16th 2024Overall great beach -
Safe spot (mostly, but always check conditions), the tide doesn’t go out too far and it’s easy to get into swimming depth water
Additionally think this is some of the UKs warmest sea water
No annoying sand, nice tidy shingle
Nice beach
