"The beach is composed of smooth pebbles and is flanked by breakwaters made of stunning large rocks that are perfect for lounging or scaling. It is a protected area that is shielded from strong winds, making it an ideal spot for relaxation. At the top of the beach, there is a cafe and public restrooms available for visitors."

"Once more, I find myself in this delightful stretch of coastline that exudes tranquility and serenity. It's an idyllic spot to bring my furry companion along, who simply adores the place. The beach is a haven of relaxation, and I couldn't be happier to be here. 😊"

Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Rottingdean 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 Rottingdean 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 Rottingdean beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
