Esplanades tend to be nice chilled section to ride on, flat tarmac surfaces that do not take much physical exertion, combined with a relatively slow pace, normally quite a lot of people around. Bognor is a nice one to ride on

The seafront road is great in a SW wind to push you along

This is a pretty cool bridge, as it is one of the few retractable steel pedestrian footbridges in existence. The bridge linking East and West Littlehampton across the River Arun in 1981 has a retractable steel section to allow access to any piloted vessels upriver. It gives great views up and down the River Arun from here too.
