A local guide from Jacob's Bagels
Worthing is one of the easiest seaside towns to enjoy slowly: the pier, the beach, the flat promenade, independent shops, local food, coffee stops, theatres, galleries and the South Downs close by.
Jacob's Bagels is based at 9 Bath Place, close to Worthing town centre, so we are a useful stop if you are visiting for the day, walking from the station, heading to the seafront, or looking for breakfast, lunch or coffee before exploring.

The flat promenade makes Worthing easy for a relaxed walk, a gentle cycle, a dog walk, or a slow wander towards the beach.
Stop for bagels
If you are in town for breakfast, lunch or coffee, Jacob's Bagels is a small local shop serving fresh bagels in Bath Place.
Find independent shops
Worthing has a growing mix of independents, local makers, galleries, food shops and places to browse away from the usual high street chains.
Make a day of it
Worthing works well for a simple seaside day trip: arrive, walk, eat, browse, sit by the sea, then head home properly fed.
Bring the dog
Worthing is a good town for dog walkers, with the promenade, pier area and plenty of nearby outdoor spaces to enjoy.
