Cooden Beach provides a long, shingly foreshore divided by wooden groynes, with sandy flats exposed at low tide. The beach is a popular spot for kite surfers and windsurfers, who have a designated area separate from the bathing area, with an 8-knot speed limit in place.
The beach is ideal for walkers, offering a long stretch of shoreline perfect for taking in the ocean views across Pevensey Bay. Visitors can walk towards Bexhill or head west for more secluded sections of coastline. The beach is less crowded than its neighbours in Brighton or Hastings, making it a great escape for those seeking peace and quiet.
Getting to Cooden Beach is convenient, with a railway station located practically on the beach. For those arriving by car, there is free parking available on the beachfront. The beach has its own small train station, one of the few on the south coast with such easy rail access, making it perfect for day-trippers.
The beach is suitable for a low-key family day out, with no arcades or big attractions, but its simplicity appeals to those looking for a traditional beach experience. Visitors can bring a bucket, spade, and a picnic to enjoy. The west-facing beach offers stunning sunsets, perfect for a romantic stroll or photo opportunity. Dogs are allowed on most of Cooden Beach year-round, but certain sections may have seasonal restrictions.
Jet skis are currently prohibited from launching and landing at Cooden Beach. Visitors are advised to check local signage for any seasonal restrictions on dogs and to be aware of the 8-knot speed limit for water sports.
