Hastings is a wonderful seaside town. Its Old Town is charming and full of fascinating shops, galleries, arts and crafts, cafes, restaurants and bars. There's live music and much to explore. And there's the seafront, pier, funfair and the amazing fleet of fishing boats that are pulled on to the shingle when they return with their catch - a great sight to witness.
