Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Saltdean beach (Brighton and Hove) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Saltdean beach (Brighton and Hove) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Saltdean beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing.

The beach is a beautiful place to take a stroll and observe various wildlife such as fulmars, which may be mistaken for seagulls, and rock pipits nesting in the cliffs. Additionally, there are little egrets in the rockpools on the beach. It's worth noting that the beach has light, fine pebbles.

The beach is a wonderful destination for leisurely strolls and refreshing dips in the sea. It's an ideal spot to appreciate the local flora and fauna. However, if the tide is out beyond the groynes, it's best to refrain from swimming. The water becomes too shallow, and you'll have to venture quite far from the shore to find adequate depths. Also, the presence of rocks and mud can make navigating the beach a bit difficult.
