More about the East Sussex coast
Beach huts on the East Sussex coast
The East Sussex coast isn't about flashy resort beaches or endless rows of huts. It's more restrained than that. Promenades, shingle, chalk cliffs, grand seafront buildings, and towns that still feel rooted in their own rhythm. Eastbourne and Bexhill are the obvious names for beach huts, and both have that classic south coast look people either grew up with or wish they had.
Eastbourne's beach huts and chalets stretch across a few different sections of the seafront, so you've got a bit of choice depending on whether you want something lively or slightly quieter. Bexhill has its own steady, unshowy appeal. And Camber Sands, although different in character, adds the broad-sand side of East Sussex that the county page would feel thin without.
It's a good coast for people who like the old-fashioned bits of a seaside day out. A promenade walk, a windy cup of tea, a beach hut to duck into when the weather turns for twenty minutes, then blue sky again by lunchtime.
