Checkout the tides. At low tide you can walk towards Bexhill to Bulverhythe Beach.
The beach is stunning, if you can do this at sunset (tide depending) the light can be breathtaking.
It’s also dog friendly 🐾
If like a reasonable walk, there is a great cafe called Oceanside Cafe (there are public toilets just under the bridge)
Look out for the Amsterdam shipwreck.
