Worthing Promenade

Worthing Promenade is exactly what it says on the tin: a long stretch along the seafront for walking, running, cycling and getting from one end of Worthing to the other. Families mainly come for the views, the pier, the wheel and the general fresh-air factor rather than any big-ticket attraction. For parents, the main appeal is that it costs nothing and gives everyone room to move. Reviewers mention it being good for an evening stroll, with enough going on to keep children interested: shops, flowers at times of year, and plenty of seafront scenery. It also works well for mixed ages because there’s no complicated planning involved. The downsides are the usual seaside ones. It can feel a bit sketchy in the evenings according to one reviewer, and another had a miserable run-in with dog mess on a bench, so it’s not exactly a pristine picnic paradise. There’s no information in the reviews about toilets, baby changing, pram access or food on site, so those bits are unknown.
