The West Beach Local Nature Reserve in Littlehampton is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), featuring rare vegetated shingle and one of only two sand dune systems in West Sussex.
A site of special scientific interest West Beach is home to one of only 3 sand dune systems in West Sussex. Well known for its laid back atmosphere West Beach is a great spot to relax with a picnic, on clear days you can enjoy views of neighbouring Bognor Regis and even the Isle of Wight.
Our award winning, family friendly sand and pebble beach is over a mile long making it the perfect location for seaside fun or some much needed relaxation. Stroll along the promenade, sit on Britain’s longest bench and admire the view or take a dip in the sea. Our sand is perfect for sandcastles and when the sea goes out you can explore the tide pools for underwater creatures.
The seafront has always been a favourite spot for people to have BBQs in the summer but it is not permitted to barbecue on the beach due to health & safety. With this in mind we have placed three stainless steel units in the picnic area adjacent to the coach parking on Littlehampton's seafront green. The equipment is free to use.
Littlehampton is a welcoming seaside town on the West Sussex coast, positioned between Worthing and Bognor Regis and sitting at the mouth of the River Arun. Its transport links make it easy to reach whether you’re coming for a day trip or a longer coastal break.
