Rottingdean and Saltdean

The village of Rottingdean is actually older than Brighton, whilst Saltdean grew mainly in the 1930's.

From Brighton take the A259 towards Newhaven. Bus services 12, 14, 27, 47 and 712 come in from Brighton. The Undercliff walk from Saltdean to Brighton is a nice walk in summer. With a little luck you get soaked by a wave.

In Rottingdean the car parking area just north of the A259 next to the White Horse Hotel which overlooks the beach.

In Saltdean the car parking area just north of the A259. The Whitecliffs Cafe overlooks the beach. Toilets are available halfway up the cliff ramp on Saltdean Beach.

The shingle beaches between rock groynes are quieter than Brighton, backed by high chalk cliffs. At low tide rock pools appear and provide great fun. Bring a change of clothes as you probably get soaking wet.

Lifeguard cover is provided during the school summer holidays from 10:00 - 18:00 on both Saltdean and Rottingdean beaches. They fly a warning flag when the sea is unsuitable for bathing. The beach is cleaned regularly. It is manually picked for litter daily in the summer. Bins are available. Dogs are banned on two of the four beaches from May to September. No routine sewage discharge has been identified.
