This isn't a secluded cove; it's a lively hub, perfectly positioned for those who love the convenience of city life blending seamlessly with coastal charm.
“Pelham Beach is uniquely central, offering immediate access to Hastings' pier, Old Town, and urban amenities directly from the shingle.”

The beach itself provides ample space for sunbathers to spread their towels, for children to dig in the shingle, and for casual strolls along the water's edge. Look out towards the English Channel, and you'll see fishing boats and pleasure craft dotting the horizon, a constant reminder of Hastings' rich maritime heritage. Turn inland, and the grand Victorian architecture of the promenade, along with the striking Hastings Pier, frames your view.
