Visiting Hastings Hastings is a vibrant and welcoming town, just waiting to be explored by visitors. The White Rock | Hastings Set between hills that reach to the sea, Hastings is an oyster where the smooth bustle of modern life rubs along with the rough edges of tradition. Watching over the town are the ruins of the castle, as they have for nearly 1,000 years. A three-mile seafront stretches from the fishing fleet at the eastern end through the hustle and bustle of the arcades and funfair rides, to the pier and unique double-decker promenade Bottle Alley, arriving finally at peaceful Grosvenor Gardens.
