SPOTLIGHT ON SHOREHAM cont .
THINGS TO DO
Shoreham Airport Visitor Centre The Shoreham Airport Visitor Centre is a museum that shows exactly how this small but busy airport would have looked . From its fabulous art deco terminal building to the fact that you can watch the planes take off from a very close perspective , this is a grand day out any day of the week ( including Sundays ). Bonus features include a gorgeous café that serves an impressive slab of chocolate cake ( among many other sweet treats ) and some very friendly staff members .
Marlipins Museum When we mentioned there was a lot of history to Shoreham , we meant it . And Marlipins Museum is testament to that . It tells the story of Shoreham ’ s maritime and local history starting way back in prehistoric times . There are photographs , exhibitions and interesting talks too .
DINING OUT
Into The Blue According to those in the know , Into The Blue is the very best seafood restaurant in Sussex . That ’ s a mighty bold claim , but the reviews do speak for themselves . With items such as the Blue Seafood Platter ( king prawns , scallops , salt and pepper calamari , crab , smoked salmon , salad , bread and dip ), whole dover sole and traditional fish and chips with homemade tartare sauce , it serves up some hearty , mouthwatering meals .

It is that perfect meet-inthe-middle sweet spot between formal and relaxed dining where you can enjoy the perfect romantic meal for two , or a large family celebration .
