Shoreham Port
A trust port since 1760
About Shoreham Port
Shoreham Port was established as a trust by an Act of Parliament in 1760 and reinvests its surpluses in the port. In its own figures, around two million tonnes of cargo pass through its lock gates each year and it is the third-largest fishing port in England. Its Anchor Points trail is a family walking tour of the port, with a map to download from its site. It is a working port: keep away from the water’s edge and watch for vehicles.
