Its main thoroughfare is Heene Road, which runs perpendicular to the coast and contains local shops and services. The shingle beach and promenade form a consistent boundary, with greenspace provided by Heene Gardens.

A notable local landmark is the red-brick Heene Terrace, a distinct row of seafront houses. The ward includes the West Worthing conservation area, which preserves its architectural heritage.
