Newhaven has a reputation as a grimy por.
Newhaven actually has two marinas – one is on a branch of the Ouse
River, and populated with house-boats and paddle steamers that look as
if they’ve sailed here from the Mississippi
West Beach is the only sandy beach on the South Coast until you reach
Camber Sands, but it’s owned by French company NPP, who quibble about
the crumbling breakwater and insurance, so there is a fence preventing
access to the sand, the breakwater and the lighthouse.
Newhaven Fort was completed in 1871. It is the largest work of coastal defence built in Sussex and a vital element in two World Wars.
