About

Marine ward occupies a central coastal strip of Worthing, running directly along the seafront. The area is defined by its long promenade and the greensward behind it, a broad expanse of grass separating the beach from the residential streets. Its primary built environment consists of a mix of apartment blocks and Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, often with direct views of the English Channel. The ward's layout is linear, following the coastline.

A notable landmark is the Worthing Pier, a traditional structure extending into the sea with a pavilion at its end. The area includes the town's main swimming pool and leisure centre complex situated on the promenade. Immediately inland, the streets are largely residential, with local shops and services concentrated on Brighton Road, which forms part of the ward's eastern boundary.
