people are really friendly, loads of great old style pubs, lots of musicians/artists, amazing seafront, good football ground and De La Warr just a few stops away. Reminds me of how Brighton used to be.

The new flats by the yacht club are nothing short of a crime. In fact it was a very underhanded development full stop.

Is the right answer.
Everything you mentioned plus The Old Town, The East and West Hills and the view from them over the largest beach fishing fleet in EUROPE, the sense of community and events that re on throughout the year and the fact it's real. Plus it continues to improve for the better, despite the problems it, like many seaside towns face.
I'm proud to have been born there, grow up in the area and spent most of my life living in the area too.

Plus it's only 7 miles from Battle which is the best town in the whole of Sussex
Really, it isn't. Having spent the last 6 months living there it really has only one advantage over Brighton/Hove, the price. It has none of the amenities of a bigger town/city, and Hove has more rural charm than Worthing. The roads getting in and out are jammed at both rush hour and weekends. For living on the coast in central Sussex you have to go a long way to beat Shoreham right now in my view.

Me too. Love it. I can walk from home down to East St in 5 mins and have my choice of cafes for a nice cuppa or a bite. Farmers market, chilli festival, artisan market - we have pretty much all I need.

Indeed. Ploughman's in Hectors Shed, quick gawp at the saucy French Milf in Real Patisserie, over to beach side for a cheap pint in The Waterside, although that pub has gone rapidly downhill since the new landlady took over.
It was never a nice looking place but the people made that place. She's barred most of them now. Shame.

Shoreham has been growing on me recently. I even like the prawn.

Highly selective, and in some cases, simply not true - especially the taxi fares for Worthing and Shoreham.

I'd vote for Shoreham. Grew up there, living on The Beach. Great memories.

It sort of has to be selective as I can't list every cab fare or pint price in Sussex. But I assure you that's what I've paid in the past. I doubt many can deny Brighton is a very expensive town. In many areas it's more expensive than London which must make it pretty much the most expensive town in the U.K.!

I'll put in a word for Worthing. Good footie side, OK rugby team, 5 railway stations, decent prom, trad.pier and if they can get rid of the eyesore that is Teville Gate, then the place should look a lot better. The Downs and the sea within 2 miles.
