Getting around

Being on the West Cliff puts the seafront within easy reach, with the zig-zag paths and cliff lift leading down to the sand, and a short, mostly level walk carrying you into the town centre for shops and restaurants. Nearby Westbourne, with its independent cafés, is also close at hand, leaving plenty to explore on foot.
