Rest, relax & recharge
Welcome to Fire, Salt & Sea, our traditional wood-fired pop-up sauna on the pebbles of Worthing beach.
Our Finnish-style sauna is converted from a vintage horsebox and features a genuine 200kg wood-
fired stove. With unbroken views out to sea through the full width window, you can take some time out to just ‘be’ whilst immersed in nature. Whatever the weather, you’ll be truly surrounded by the elements: Fire, Salt and Sea.

Health benefits
Sauna culture is rapidly gaining popularity in the UK, with an increasing number of people discovering the numerous health benefits long-advocated by our European counterparts. Regular sauna use can improve cardiovascular strength, improve respiratory health, boost the immune system, and reduce stress levels.
Mental well-being is often noticeable after just one session, and sauna provides a tranquil space to unwind and focus on self-care. Incorporating regular sauna sessions can aid in post-workout recovery, especially after high-intensity exercises like running. Cold shock/contrast therapy offered by alternating between hot and cold temperatures can have numerous health benefits.
Sauna use is also associated with other wellness practices such as yoga and the Wim Hof Method.
