WEST SUSSEX BEACHES
If you love beach holidays, you’ve come to the right place. From our quiet Holiday Park, you can enjoy direct access to Bracklesham Bay and seven miles of sand and shingle beaches – all just a few minutes walk from your chalet. The West Sussex coastline has some truly jaw-dropping beaches, including the spectacular Witterings.
But which ones are worth exploring? Below are a few of our favourites.
Bracklesham Bay
This popular beach is our nearest, with direct access from our Holiday Park (so it’s something of a must-visit during your stay). It is mainly shingle but sandier towards the water’s edge and is a great spot for swimming and walking, whilst there are plenty of amenities in the village that overlook the beach.
East Wittering
We love East Wittering! It is typical of many beaches in the region, with its shelving shingle and wooden groynes. As the tide goes out expansive sand flats are revealed. East Wittering is 2 miles from its more popular neighbour, West Wittering, and remains a good choice for those who prefer a quieter location.
West Wittering
Located at the mouth of Chichester Harbour, West Wittering is one of the jewels in the crown of the West Sussex region. This attractive sandy beach is within a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). It’s an ideal beach for sunbathing, paddling and water sports such as surfing, windsurfing and kite-surfing when conditions are right. Nearby facilities include toilets, showers, parking and a café.
East Head
Considered by many to be one of the best beaches in West Sussex, this delightful dune spit lies on the eastern side of the entrance to Chichester Harbour. This sandy beach, backed by dunes and salt marshes provides a habitat for many rare species of plant and animal life.
Middleton-on-Sea
If you don’t mind a bit of a drive then head east towards Bognor Regis and discover Middleton-on-Sea Beach. It is one of the sunniest spots in the UK and is relatively quiet and tranquil, being used mostly by locals walking their dogs.
One of the South Coast’s most spectacular RSPB habitats.
Home to long, meandering walks, scenic cycle paths and jaw-dropping panoramic views across the countryside and coast, this neighbouring paradise is a must-visit for nature lovers of all ages.
Birdwatchers Rejoice
Throughout the year, Medmerry Nature Reserve dazzles with diverse birdlife. From skylarks and lapwings in spring to owls and falcons in winter, each season unveils new avian wonders. Simply arrive and observe nature’s spectacle unfold.

Discover the stunning diversity of The South Downs. With lush pastures, ancient woodlands, and dramatic coastlines, it’s a paradise for all. Our holiday park near Chichester offers easy access to this natural beauty.
