What to do and see in Bexhill-on-Sea, England: The Best Things to do Good for a Rainy Day
Bexhill-on-Sea (often simply Bexhill) is a seaside town situated in the county of East Sussex in South East England. An ancient town and part of the local-government district of Rother, Bexhill is home to a number of archaeological sites, a Manor House in the Old Town, an abundance of Edwardian and Victorian architecture, and the famous De La Warr Pavilion: today a centre for contemporary art – which has featured the work of Andy Warhol, Cerith Wyn Evans and Richard Wilson amongst others – and an auditorium, where Bob Marley had his first UK appearance and has since seen performances by Elvis Costello, Goldfrapp, Ray Davies, Years and Years, Pati Smith and Lauri Anderson.

Had a wonderful coffee and cake, it was beautiful watching the sea whilst enjoying a lovely cappuccino and a slice of cake, we popped in to escape the bad weather whilst taking a stroll and we weren’t disappointed. All social distancing adhered too and the staff were very nice.

Kerrys is unique in as much as you will find it hard to find a place like this where you can enjoy fish and chips in a wine bar that serves alcohol with a lovely sea view. They have an arrangement where you can order your fish and chips 3 doors down at the Minnie Berthas chip shop and they will then bring it round to you in Kerrys. There is a choice of sitting inside or out. They provide daily newspapers and WiFi. The view is of the yacht club and the sea. Enjoy
