About

Goring-by-Sea sits on the coast at the western edge of Worthing, with a long shingle beach and a concrete promenade backed by a low sea wall. Wooden groynes run out into the Channel at regular intervals and the railway line runs close to the shore; Goring-by-Sea station on the West Coastway Line provides regular connections along the coast. A compact shopping parade and a mix of local services — shops, takeaways, a library and community halls — form the village centre around Goring Road, giving the area a local focus distinct from central Worthing.

Behind the seafront the land rises to the chalk of the South Downs, with public footpaths that climb from residential streets into open downland. Housing in the area ranges from interwar terraces to later suburban developments, and small parks and playing fields are scattered through the neighbourhood. The area’s layout, with the station close to the beach and paths leading straight up to the downs, shapes daily life here and makes coastal and hill walking readily accessible from the village.
