Bexhill Beach

Bexhill Beach runs along the central seafront of Bexhill-on-Sea, backed by the iconic De La Warr Pavilion, a Grade I listed Modernist building that has anchored the town's cultural identity since 1935. The beach is predominantly shingle, with a wide, gently sloping profile that extends along the promenade between Cooden to the west and the approaches to Bexhill Marina to the east. At lower tide states, patches of firm sand are exposed along the lower beach, making it more accessible for walking and play. The promenade is well maintained, with regular benches, beach access steps, and a handful of seasonal cafes and kiosks. The town itself sits immediately behind the seafront, making this one of the more convenient resort beaches on the East Sussex coast.

Dogs have seasonal restrictions on the main Bexhill seafront beach from 1 May to 30 September under the Rother District Council PSPO. During the restricted season, dogs are prohibited from the designated bathing areas but sections beyond the restriction zones remain accessible. Outside peak season, the beach is open to dogs without restriction and makes for a pleasant, easy walk along the promenade with good sea views and flat terrain. The De La Warr Pavilion cafe and the promenade cafes provide refreshment options throughout the year. Leads are advisable near the promenade and in busier areas.
