{{anchor|Maritime Museum}}
The Newhaven Local & Maritime Museum is operated by the Newhaven Historical Society and is a registered charity. The Planet Earth Museum and Sussex History Trail is dedicated to the history of the earth.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.britainsfinest.co.uk/attractions/attractions.cfm/searchazref/80001310PLAA|title=Paradise Park, Newhaven|website=Britain's Finest|access-date=15 May 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130813225601/http://www.britainsfinest.co.uk/attractions/attractions.cfm/searchazref/80001310PLAA|archive-date=13 August 2013|url-status=dead}}</ref> They are both located at Paradise Park which is a garden centre owned by the Tate family.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.paradisepark.co.uk/|title=Paradise Park Homepage - Paradise Park|website=Paradise Park|access-date=24 February 2010|archive-date=10 January 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100110135300/http://www.paradisepark.co.uk/|url-status=live}}</ref>

The parish church is dedicated to St Michael and is shared by the [[Church of England]] and [[Methodist]] communities.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.roughwood.net/ChurchAlbum/EastSussex/Newhaven/NewhavenStMichael2004.htm|title=St Michael's Church, Newhaven, Sussex, England - 2nd January 2004|website=www.roughwood.net|access-date=15 May 2008|archive-date=24 May 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080524074427/http://www.roughwood.net/ChurchAlbum/EastSussex/Newhaven/NewhavenStMichael2004.htm|url-status=live}}</ref> The [[Roman Catholic]] church is dedicated to the [[Sacred Heart]] (Church of the Sacred Heart).

The town is featured in ''Crime Is My Business'' by W. Howard Baker (Sexton Blake Library No 408, Amalgamated Press, 1958) and possibly based on an idea or material by [[Jack Trevor Story]]. Although mentioned (along with Brighton, Beachy Head, and Eastbourne), the references are vague and one would not recognise the town from the book. Other references in the text (a typical [[Sexton Blake]] adventure) suggest a roadside café somewhere in the region of the recently demolished Peacehaven Motel, which was formerly situated at the eastern end of Peacehaven.

Newhaven has a thriving art community with the art club being formed in the 1960s and new galleries displaying local work in the town.
