Hove Lagoon: Brighton’s Water Sports Destination
Hove Lagoon is a popular outdoor venue on Brighton and Hove’s western seafront, offering a sheltered body of water perfect for water sports, family activities, and outdoor leisure. Unlike the open sea, the lagoon’s calm, enclosed waters are ideal for beginners and children to try water sports safely and confidently.

Hove Lagoon is home to the area’s main water sports centre, offering windsurfing, kitesurfing, paddleboarding, kayaking, and sailing for all abilities. Lessons are available for complete beginners, and equipment hire is available for those with existing skills. The lagoon’s sheltered waters make it perfect for learning these exciting sports.
Family Activities at Hove Lagoon
The lagoon is enormously popular with families. Children love the paddleboarding and kayaking opportunities in the calm water, and the surrounding area has a playground, green space, and café facilities. It’s a wonderful outdoor destination for a family day out from central Brighton.
Cycling to Hove Lagoon
Hove Lagoon is accessible by the seafront cycle path from central Brighton, making it an excellent destination for a cycling and water sports day. The flat cycle route from Brighton to the lagoon is suitable for all abilities and takes approximately 20-25 minutes by bike.
