The underrated English seaside town that’s full of eccentricities | UK | Travel

Along the coast of Sussex is the charming Bexhill-on-Sea, a seaside town often overlooked by Brits and other tourists alike. 

Less than two hours by train from London, it makes for an ideal escape from the city crowds for those on the hunt for long sunny days by the sea. 

Picturesque, with wide seafront promenades, vintage shops, independent coffee shops, and even private beaches for those who fancy, the town has something on offer for everyone. 

The most remarkable structure is the 1935 Art Deco De La Warr Pavilion, a venue for contemporary art and culture, which hosted one of Bob Marley’s first concerts in the country, back in July 1972.

Visitors are especially in awe of the view from its café and the seating it offers, while the architecture does not go unnoticed either, as a Tripadvisor user said: “I particularly love the grand staircase with floor-to-ceiling windows. We wandered around the exhibition, which changes with the seasons. Great place.”

Right beneath De La Warr Pavilion is the King George V Colonnade, identifiable by its white Tuscan columns and domes.

Housing quaint little eateries with leisurely outdoor seating for sea-watching, people-watching, and bird-watching, life slows down at the colonnade.

“This is an iconic part of Bexhill seafront. The colannade stand tall and proud on Bexhill seafront. Really well maintained and a lovely view from the top,” said another user on Tripadvisor. 

Other attractions include the Bexhill Museum, which serves as an archive for the coastal town’s memorable milestones, historic events, and celebrity sightings.

The Manor Gardens and Egerton Park are scenic spots for a grassy picnic away from the sea.
