Bexhill-on-Sea

Bexhill has become known by many as 'God's waiting room', and quite rightly so with a generally more aged society. However, as a young regular visitor of Bexhill-on-Sea I love the town and think that it is up and coming. The shops in the town may not be particularly attractive and there aren't masses of things to do but given some nice weather there are few places I'd rather be. The seaside itself is dominated by an bold, yet classy white Art Deco pavillion - a must for those with an interest in photography. Inside is a trendy arts centre with many events and exhibitions, a theatre, and a café which, although expensive, provides wonderful views of the sea through ...  Read the complete review

I grew up in Bexhill, and remained in the town until I was 30 but by then I had my first child and I realised that this was not a town for the young. My descendents on my mothers side had lived in the town for decades and my parents still do, as does my younger sister but I decided to through caution to the wind and move to a more child friendly environment. Bexhill-on-Sea is a sleepy retirement town set in magnificent countryside on the south coast of England within easy distance of a wealth of castles, historic attractions and places of interest in 1066 Country and East Sussex, for young and old alike. The town is 5 miles west of Hastings and about 10 miles ...  Read the complete review

Bexhill is a typical Sussex sea-side town, with an aging population, good facilities for leisure, and a well-kept environment, making it an attractive place to live or visit. It has the highest proportion of retired people in Western Europe (55%), and a casual visitor will be struck by the number of zimmers and electric trikes along the seafront. On the other hand, there’s lots of children and families too, taking advantage of the easy parking, the excellent beach and the absence of expensive theme parks and other commercial attractions. When I lived in Bexhill I found it has lot going for it. Firstly, its best not to focus on the age of ...  Read the complete review

There are 20 people in Bexhill over 100 years of age. Bexhill has the reputation of being a boring retirement town with no nightlife, lots and lots of pensioners and a genteel Edwardian atmosphere. Its reputation is well deserved. I know I lived there. Bexhill is dull. This is its main distinguishing feature. If you want a big night out in Bexhill get the train out of Bexhill. There are a few nice pubs and restaurants in Bexhill but Bexhill is dead after around 10:30. The Ming Hwa on the high street is a nice Chinese restaurant and Louis Fish 'n' Chips is the best in the area. Try the banana fritter. There is a new Walkers wine bar next to the ...  Read the complete review

Bexhill on Sea, East Sussex. Edwardian and stylish, that’s how it comes across to me. Great place for a break and there are loads of attractions to keep you busy or you can just chill out and take in the relaxing atmosphere. The promenade is wide and stretches for two miles with its splendid Victorian shelters so the pride of the town. There is a superb sandy beach and a pebble one, but both are kept in a very clean state, one of the nicest beaches I have seen for a while. In the 1900’s the seventh and eighth Earl De La Warr built themselves a new resort and Bexhill became the popular place to be with the Edwardian ...  Read the complete review
