Shoreham-by-Sea, Port town in West Sussex, England

Shoreham-by-Sea sits at the mouth of the River Adur along the English Channel, between the South Downs and the coast.

The settlement dates to pre-Roman times, with St Nicolas' Church displaying Anglo-Saxon construction elements and New Shoreham established by Normans in the 11th century.

St Mary de Haura Church, built after 1103, remains a central architectural element of the town, though reduced from its original structure.

The town contains a commercial port handling cargo, offering marine services, and supporting over 150 businesses within its industrial area.

Brighton City Airport, located west of the town, maintains operations as the oldest licensed airport in the United Kingdom.
