A local guide from Jacob's Bagels
Visit Worthing
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.
Walk the pier
Worthing Pier is one of the town's best-known landmarks, with sea views, art, amusements and the Pavilion Theatre at the landward end.
Enjoy the seafront
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.
Start with the seafront
Things to do in Worthing
A good Worthing visit usually starts with the sea. Walk along the promenade, head out onto the pier, look back at the town from the water, or take a slow route through the town centre before finding somewhere to eat.
Worthing is not trying to be Brighton, and that is part of its charm. It is calmer, easier to move around, and full of small local places worth finding.
- Walk Worthing Pier and enjoy the sea views
- Follow the promenade for a relaxed coastal walk
- Browse independent shops and local makers
- Stop for breakfast, lunch, coffee or something sweet
- Use Worthing as a base for the South Downs and nearby coast
Where Jacob's Bagels fits in
We are not a tourist attraction pretending to be bigger than we are. We are a small local Worthing bagel shop. But if you are visiting the town, we are exactly the sort of place that can make the day better: proper bagels, filled bagels, coffee, pretzels, cakes and a friendly stop close to the town centre.
Come in before a walk, after the beach, before the theatre, or when you want lunch that feels local rather than generic.
