Anyone
who enjoys a different kind of resort will warm to Bexhill-on-Sea.
Balmy weather, pretty beaches and a refreshing air of tranquility
make this delightful town on the Sussex Coast something of a find.
Tucked beetween Eastbourne and Hastings along 4 miles of unpolluted
seashore and in the midst of historic 1066 country, it offers a
quiet charm missing from many louder and brasher resorts.
Tingling sea air, graceful Edwardian architecture, a sweeping promenade
where you can stroll to your heart's content - all mingle with a
gentle and unhurried pace that is much loved by residents and tourists.
For the day visitor, there is plenty to interest and enjoy, from
the stunning De La Warr Pavilion, to intriguing museums, excellent
leisure pursuits and a beautifully safe and unspoilt pebble-and-sand
beach. And for those staying longer, Bexhill is the ideal base -
and place to come home to - after time exploring this famous corner
of England. The fascinating castles, ancient villages and rolling,
green hillsides of 1066 country are all comfortably close by, as
is Le Shuttle and ferry ports, should you fancy a trip to France.
Bexhill
on Sea is one of those quintessentially English places where you
really do have room to breathe. Famed in the Victorian era as a
spa and for its purifying, health giving air, you can still fill
your lungs here with the same crystal-clear and bracing sea air.
Bexhill's award winning beach, once the scene of the first mixed
bathing in England! Here, children can play safely on the pebbles,
and wide stretches of sand and rock pools that emerge at low tide,
amid lovely views of Beachy Head to the west and Hastings to the
east.
Beyond the beach, Bexhill holds many more suprises. The seafront
De La Warr Pavilion is a supreme example of modernist architecture.
A Grade 1 listed building, it is now a thriving centre for the arts,
buzzing with shows, concerts and exhibitions. |
