Southlands is an electoral ward in the district of Adur on the Sussex coast of West Sussex. It sits close to the mouth of the River Adur and the low-lying shoreline, with easy access to the South Downs to the north; the area is largely residential, with a mix of inter‑war and more modern housing, pockets of green space and some conservation-minded streets near the waterfront.
The ward feels like a suburban coastal community with visible links to the region’s maritime past around Shoreham and Shoreham Harbour, while many residents commute to nearby centres such as Brighton and Worthing. Local life is sustained by small shops, schools and community groups, and the neighbourhood’s character is shaped by its seaside setting, practical harbour‑side economy and an active local civic scene.
