About Bexhill-on-Sea

Bexhill-on-Sea, a jewel on the Sussex coast, unfurls its story from the gentle sweep of its shoreline towards the rolling South Downs. It lies 7.9 km west-south-west of Hastings (from Hastings: bearing 258°T, OS grid TQ 741 075), and is situated south-south-east of Lunsford's Cross village. Historically, it grew from a small Saxon settlement, its fortunes later shaped by the burgeoning popularity of seaside resorts in the Victorian era, a transformation that brought grand architecture and a sense of refined leisure. The economy, once tied to fishing and agriculture, now thrives on tourism and the quiet hum of local commerce, its lifeblood drawn from the sea and the enduring appeal of its coastal charm. The spirit of Bexhill-on-Sea is perhaps best captured by the elegant sweep of its seafront, a place where the salt-laced air whispers tales of a bygone era. The iconic De La Warr Pavilion, a masterpiece of Art Deco architecture, stands as a beacon of cultural life, its clean lines a stark and beautiful contrast against the ever-changing canvas of the sky. For many, the town is synonymous with the thrill of the annual Bexhill 100 classic car show, a vibrant celebration that draws enthusiasts from far and wide, echoing the town's own historical connection to innovation and progress.
