Community first
Built for Brighton & Hove.
Tourism will matter. But we want local people to use Surf Side regularly — not once a year. We want to hear: “I'll meet you at Surf Side.”
Who it’s for
A place to belong.
A strong membership culture, a clubhouse people use every week, and programmes that reach people who’ve never been on the water before.
- Local residents
- Members
- Families
- Young people
- Schools
- Clubs
- Community groups
- Beginners
- Experienced watersports users
- People who never get in the water
- Local businesses
Families connect.
Friends meet.
Children learn.
People move.
Communities form.
New local jobs
The project is expected to create at least 50 new employment opportunities, across:
- Hospitality
- Food & beverage
- Surf operations
- Watersports
- Coaching
- Customer experience
- Retail
- Maintenance
- Management
- Events
- Administration
Wider opportunities
Job numbers are an expectation for the project, not a guarantee. Recruitment has not started.
Be part of it
Let’s build it together.
We want relationships with the community long before we open. Schools, clubs, community organisations, local businesses, suppliers, coaches, event organisers, partners and future team members — we’d like to hear from you.
