The Sussex seaside town of Worthing has been named the best coastal retirement destination in the UK, according to The Telegraph. The newspaper highlighted its 'great coastal views', thriving independent shops, and convenient transport links to Brighton, Chichester, and other nearby resorts.
The average price for a detached house in Worthing is £570,999, while a flat averages £229,350. The town offers a more laid-back atmosphere than neighbouring Brighton, with a palm-tree lined promenade and a historic pier dating back to 1862.
The Telegraph noted that Worthing provides a quieter, more relaxed lifestyle ideal for retirement. Attractions include the Montague Gallery, run by resident artists, and easy access to the South Downs, Cissbury Ring, and walking trails with country pubs.
Visit South East England praised Worthing's five miles of seafront, including a splash point and Lido. The town centre is flat and walkable, making it easy for retirees to navigate with numerous eateries and shops.
