Shoreham-by-Sea is a port and resort town in Adur district, on the southeastern part of West Sussex, England, close to the border with East Sussex. It covers 9.8 sq km (3.8 sq mi) and has a population of 20,000 people (2012 estimate).

Geographical features bordering Shoreham-by-Sea include the Adur Valley to the west, the River Adur on the west and south sides, Shoreham Beach to the south and the South Downs to the north.

Human habitation in the Shoreham-by-Sea can be traces back to Roman times, though the settlement is most likely established by the Anglo-Saxons, on the site known today as Old Shoreham. The St Nicholas' Church dates from this period. Following Norman Conquest, a new settlement was established in the 11th century called New Shoreham. It was laid out on a grid pattern and remains today as the principal town center of Shoreham-by-Sea.

A stretch of shingle bank separates Shoreham-by-Sea from the English Channel, with the River Arun running between the bank and the town.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
