We went a couple of years ago, stayed in Worthing (nice pier). We liked Bognor beach. It is what it is - stones.... but what impressed us was the sea air. The South coast had a fresh salty aroma about it and the sea was shiny blue. Very different to the seaside town we live in. Bognor has a lovely charm about it. Modest, faded grandeur. The town centre is dull, but the Butlins resort is magnificent - we tried and failed to get a day pass. Chichester is near Bognor - its a beautiful, small City. Everyone milling around, shopping - a proper thowback to the traditional, bustling centre of things. Love the South coast. Very - and proudly - English 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿👍

Tim, You should be starting your trip from the train station where the average tourist for the day will begin.(East Croydon to BR, £20-£25 with rail card, 1 hour 30 minutes: passing Arundel castle which itself is worth a visit) Initially on leaving the train station the tourist is presented with a small shopping center which is vibrant and welcoming and caters for the hungry tourist. Lots of shops selling the stuff you need for a day on the beach. Once you have had your coffee and cake, its a short walk to the beach. Thats quite a nice thing to be close to the station from the beach. The beach is pleasant, and yes as you say it is a pebble beach, but that's the southeast. You have the cycle lane/promenade which goes s far as 'you need it to go' So you dont need to walk on the stones until you have to, The beach is clean and very rarely in my experience super busy. There are free toilets and as you saw, free water fountains which is rare. Brighton doesn't, as far as I know, offer that! The 'people gym' stuff is just a nonsense that councils have to do and I think just creates more street furniture to attract vandalism and if someone uses it, then great, In terms of south coast resorts Bognor Regis (why is it called that Tim?) has a charm about it which has been lost in places like Eastbourne and if you want to see real declining resorts, visit Hastings, Torquay, or Bournemouth where nearly every other shop is empty due to sky high business rates which are, ironically, killing business. People live in these areas and need these things local to them. The quality of the shopping center is vital, it's a central place which everyone looks to for most of their life needs such as shopping, socializing etc. For the sea front promenade , you did not go far enough. It goes past Butlins by quite a few miles. I've cycled it and its a fair few miles with a few coffee shops along the way. However it ends abruptly, (about 4 miles) and just simply disappears up into a nice housing area. Keep going and you end up at a Tesco Express. Hardly glamorous, but if you are on a budget, why not. I would like you to have a criteria of some kind when visiting these places. How to get there, did you drive, train, other. Costs etc. Give an honest first impression as if you were a starry eyed tourist visiting for the first time. Take your partner and see it if from a couples point of view. Good restaurants? nice pubs? good atmosphere? Highlight the state of the shopping center and amenities. They are the real indication of how well a resort is doing . Empty shops just shows a lack luster unimaginative local council. Bognor Regis appears to be doing well based on that (my) criteria, but perhaps a local would like to give their view. Im just there for a day (or two) trip but they live there. Why? What makes them stay? They know all the good stuff and bad, so I think you would benefit from including the locals in your docs. Have fun!

the plant is Sea kale aka sea cabbage, which is found all around the coast of the British isles and is edible

I lived in Bognor for three months in 1990. I loved it and would like to live there now. It's a small place and can it doesn't take that long to find your way around. I used to go and watch Bognor Regis FC (The Rocks) when they had a home match. I would love to go back there.

We love Bognor and its attractions such as Hotham Park but have never styaed at the Butlins there. The resort never seems to get too busy and has a brilliant retro amusements (Mr P's) just off the seafront opposite the mini golf and next to Pinks. Family owned and managed by Dave & Amelia. Great mix of well cared for retro classic machines in there as well as many up to date ones. No ticket machines here, although you can win tokens to exchange for some great prizes. Well worth a look in if you are in the area and would like to see some machines that you never see operating anywhere else now.

The water looks beautiful!

Hi Tim, Just a couple of things you missed in Bognor Regis - just the other end of Marine Park gardens, Dog friendly West Park, with it's lovely Café,, Hotham Park, near Butlins and just 200mtrs from the beach, huge children's playground, storybook wood carvings, an Arboretum, lots of nice areas for picnics, Adventure Golf, a nature reserve, big Miniature Railway, Boating Lake, another great Dog Friendly Café with a REAL Pizza Oven ! Also on the beach, when the tide is out we have about 100 metres by 2 miles of golden sands, with rock pools, plus some D-Day history with a Mulberry Harbour ! Come back soon, and let a local show you round

you forgot to video the drunks in the sunken garden. You probably missed a good fight too, there's usually a good punch up most days.

Back in the day folk from London (direct rail link) used to flock to Bognor for its vast golden sands, which you didn’t see because the tide was in. The sands are still there and Bognor is still a pleasant traditional English seaside town, though it’s lost the class it used to have when even King George V recuperated there and anyone who was anyone took their holiday there.

Tim, you missed Mr ps classic amusements just opposite the pier, great arcade for us old eighties nudgers, I stay there whenever I can just to get to play some older fruit machines, much more entertaining than modern terminal style slots, been to bognor at least 50 times, stayed at Butlins many times before it got ridiculously expensive, nice vid👍

Feel like you missed some more amazing parts of Bognor. Pinks Ice Cream Parlour is just up from the mini golf, you walked straight past the park on the beach which is relatively new and the bug open space next to the Brewer's Fayre became a hub of entertainment over the summer with remnants still there for all year round. Butlins is most certainly not the best bit about Bognor Regis.

If you go back, make sure to check out Hotham Park, which is just a short walk from the Butlins Resort.

Thanks so much Tim. I have never been to Bognor Regis but I think it has a certain charm about it. It looks well maintained (Pier aside, shame on you council) with pretty gardens. The pebble beach is just typical of the south coast. Loved this, thank you.

I wouldn't mind spending my retirement days here.

Thanks Tim . Lovely place. See you next time. ☀️

Poor Bognor. Doesn't even get many comments on a video about it..... Ok. I am one of not too many Germans who have been to most English seaside resorts. Yes, I know them all (except Margate, never been there, no idea why not) And it all started in Bognor Regis in 1976. I had just turned 12 and my parents sent me over to Bognor to improve my English. For 3 weeks I stayed with a host family at Winston Crescent in North Bersted, Loved it. It might not be the most exciting resort, but it doesn't have to be when you are twelve and alone in a new country! The beach, the pier, the slot machines... That was more than enough for me. Part of the package were day trips to Eastbourne, Brighton, Arundel and London. Loved everything. People were friendly, the weather lovely, and most of the time I didn't understand a word (thank God that has improved hahaha). So.... 45 years on I can say I have spent so much time on the British Isles. I have my favourites of course and the South Coast is not one of them, alas. I go to Eastbourne and Brighton quite often, was amazed how much Folkestone has improved, but I had never been to Bognor again. Until 2019 an English friend of mine had enough of me going on and on about Bognor. He took me to the town on a cold November day... It was freezing! But I recognized so many places, it hasn't changed that much. We also drove up to have a look at the bungalow in North Bersted where my host family lived. Such great memories! And now, thanks to your lovely vlog, I've seen Bognor in the sun again! To me it is the place "where it all began - the love for everything English and British". Must go again one day soon 😁💕

It is sunny out there in Bognor Regis as usual.😍🥰🤩❤❤❤💯

Big Thumbs Up for Tim guys ❤️

Interesting place to explore, and a beautiful day, only blue skies. Subscribed, watching from Alaska. Thank you for the wonderful tour 😍👍👍

Hey Tim, found and been going through your channel recently. Love your reviews. Please come to Southsea. It doesn't get enough love. 😊

Hi Tim looks like a lovely walk along the beach . Thanks for sharing with us. Love to you as always Tracey 💕 xxxx

Thanks again for great & enjoyable walk. 👍👍

I stopped off at Bognor for a couple of hours last month. Half an hour would have done.

Looks a nice place to live fulltime ,healthy

If you’d have gone about 10 miles west you’d have come across west witterings beach which is pure sand miles of sand even into the sea 💕💕💕💕

I was filming in Swansea today did you know it has a beach and quayside where you can do boat trips. The sand is like Bournemouth sand, but Swansea don't have a observation wheel from what I've seen

I have just booked a short holiday with a couch firm at the Royal looks alright for a short quite little holiday

Lovely big sands and shallow water when it's low tide. How to undersell somewhere with faint praise !

Thanks again for this really great video. I always love to travel with you. : )

Never been to Bognor - however when I lived in Bournemouth work took me to Brighton and Eastbourne - neither disappointed me. By the way Bournemouths big wheel has been taken down this week. Next time you are up in the North East try Saltburn which is lovely as is Staithes the birthplace of Capt Cook and Robin Hoods Bay - if you are in the car you can do all 3 in a day - as long as you are fit mind as there are some hills.

Hi tim you didn't mention that people try and fly off the pier in the summer if you go on KZfaq you can see old footage of this great event

I enjoy watch Bognor Regis my Home town

Shall be visiting bognor in 4 weeks when staying at Church Farm down the road. 😀

i didn't know there were so many nice places in the UK until I started watching your videos :D

We went last year, wasn’t a lot to do! Prefer places like Yarmouth

I was looking for the location of the Bognor Fisherman's Association Stall next to the Pier. Perhaps it wasn't open the day you filmed. Very rare local amenity.

That plant grows all over Southsea beach as well

Great video, weather was very kind to you too. Bognor looks lovely, shame that more wasn’t made of the pier and it’s been allowed to decline.

And they say Skegness is one of the worst. My god there is nothing to in this town. Here at the moment at Butlin’s adult weekender. I got a holiday home in Skegness it’s amazing compared to here

Great video Tim.

Enjoyable video. Try West Wittering further to the west. Pick a nice day and you will not be disappointed 👍

Bonito lugar , ahí trabaje en 1999.gracias

nice to see it has not changed much since the 80s I am sure there used to be a broken off part of the pier from the Storm damage in 1964 and 1965 caused the pavilion to sink into the sea

Seems like a quiet peaceful place quite pretty except the stones on the beach

At least with Butlins in Skegness you have plenty to do outside the camp with Skegness seaside and the other direction Fantasy Island , I never liked Bognor at all for a family holiday

Love this x

Looked lovely Tim cheers mate nice summer sunshine ☀️

gotta be watchin this later-wnen u goin back to hastings-if so would it be possible to show combehaven site

And I thought those yellow stands were somewhere to park your bike. lol

Another great & fantastic video of Bognor Regis Seafront Tour - What is it like?!!.💕💕💕💕💕💕

Yeah ur right not much at bognor apart from butlins. ❤

There's also a pontins or haven couple miles from Butlins

It actually looks really nice. On top of that, I really needed to see some blue sky and sea. Thanks again, Tim! 😀👍 On another note... That thing on the beach was an extra in Alien 👽

It’s funny I’m going here in July but I am staying at haven

You should have made this video in jul or aug..then it wouldnt be so quiet.. Ive been to bognor and its great . Very pleasant seaside town...pier as well is not very long but still very good on a nice warm day ...also i had one of the best seaside ice creams ive EVER had there.

Went to old Boggy Regis for the day back in July, it was OK but its just not very big with not that much to do, if I lived 2 or 3 miles away I probably would go back for a day, but no further than that.

isnt bognor supposed to get the most days of sunshine a year than anywhere else in the uk?

Bugger Bognor.

Bognor looks really nice and I like the architecture of the building facing the sea front. Are you filming with a DJI osmo ?

Hmmmm.....maybe a one night break is enough considering there is not much there but being a quiet place does appeal to me!! No shots of under the pier? Didnt fancy a skinny dip😂😂😂

the answer to ur reply on wat combe haven is like-its nice but hilly in parts

another arcade is Mr P's it is near the big wheel they have fruit machines and other retro machines all the classics check it out next time you are in Bognor Regis if you come back

well done tim, what about worthing and littlehampton next? :)

Never been to Bignor Tim,hope you enjoyed your time there, did you stay in a hotel while there

The Brewers fayre has to be the mankiest place we have ever been to. the carpet was sticky, as were the tables. Would not like to imagine what the kitchens are like.

Nice video Mate!

Big shout out to tim

you should have gone when the bridman competition was on.

You have missed a lot of Bognor there is a Casino, High street, Railway Station, Cinema, Alexandra Theatre, The Arcade, Bognor Museum, Hothampton Park, University buildings, Ice House and so on. Come back and have a better explor.

The owner of the pier was apparently given £5.000.000 lottery grant to do pier up nothing done as you see

That is seakale growing on the beach

Be watching tonight

Tim i think its seaweed on the beach but i may be wrong ?

Hi Tim. Bogner seems boring. sorry but to me it does unless it has some very good shops. It's would be fine for a day out but not for a holiday. I am a member now but I forgot to watch the video you do so just wondering the member fee is that per video or month. Marie

its Sea Cabbiage!

nice walk 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

It's Sea Kale I think, a member of the cabbage family.

Bugger Bogner

Shame to the Council.. that Pier looks like after the war.. muppets!

Bognor is not nice wouldn’t recommend.
