Lancing Beach Green

Right on the seafront, this green is one of those spots locals keep coming back to all summer. There’s a skate park that keeps older kids busy, swings for the little ones, and a big open field where you can actually kick a ball around without being in anyone’s way. Throw a BBQ in the mix — there are grills on site — and you’ve basically got a full day sorted. Parking and toilets are both there, which makes a real difference when you’re hauling stuff from the car. The beach is just steps away, so you can do both without any fuss.
