Bognor Regis

Bognor Regis is a seaside town built for staying in, with a dozen or so hotels and guest houses forming the backbone of a traditional coastal break. The Navigator Hotel and Beach Hut Suites both pull in solid ratings, as does The Coast House, each drawing hundreds of reviews from visitors. Haven Church Farm Holiday Park offers a different pace if you prefer a more spacious setting. Most of these places draw people back repeatedly, judging by their review counts—this is somewhere people know and return to.

The seafront is the obvious draw. Pagham Beach has racked up over 2,000 reviews and sits at 4.3, making it the focal point for a classic seaside day out. Hotham Park, rated 4.6, offers green space and has been visited and reviewed far more heavily, suggesting it's a reliable spot for families or a walk. The Arun Leisure Centre caters to those wanting indoor activity, while Waterloo Square Crazy Golf—rated 4.7—punches above its weight and could be a cheerful diversion on a grey afternoon. The Bognor Museum, rated 4.4, sits there too if you want to dig into the town itself.

On food, we know of Burger and Bird Co., which carries an impressive 4.9 rating, though only from a small handful of reviews. It suggests there's good eating to be found, even if our picture is incomplete.
