Shoreham-by-Sea is situated on the West Sussex coast, approximately midway between Worthing and Brighton. The town has a long history, with some form of harbour present since Roman times. Kingston Beach is situated within this harbour, where the River Adur flows into the sea. The beach itself is composed of shingle and gravel, with several wooden groynes sloping into the sea. At low tide, a small area of wet sand and gravel is exposed.
Visitors to Shoreham Kingston Beach come to walk, fish, and enjoy water sports, although there is no zoning for water sports and no lifeguard cover. Behind the beach is a small area of sand, on which stands the Kingston Lighthouse, a working structure originally built in the mid-19th century. The RNLI Shoreham lifeboat station is located adjacent to the beach. The harbour is used by a mix of commercial and leisure vessels.
At the entrance to the harbour, across from the beach, are the remains of Shoreham Redoubt, a fort built in Victorian times on the orders of Lord Palmerston to guard against the perceived threat of an invasion from France. For those looking to explore further, Southwick beach is located just east of Shoreham beach, on the border of East and West Sussex. Southwick beach is predominantly pebbled with some sand at low tide and is safe for swimming, with a designated swimming zone marked with buoys each year between May and the end of September.
The River Adur flows out to sea at the boundary between Southwick and Shoreham-by-Sea. Visitors can stop for refreshments at the Carats Cafe Bar on the seafront.
