West Wittering Beach

Explore / United Kingdom / West Sussex

West Wittering Beach overlooks the Solent and Chichester Harbour and has the South Downs as a beautiful backdrop. Although West Wittering Beach is dog-friendly, there is a seasonal dog-free zone in front of the beach huts, and you should check the local signs. You could always drop a few miles down the coast to the dog-friendly East Wittering Beach.

This is an excellent family destination with a sandy beach and a large grassy area for parking and sunbathing. There are tidal pools ideal for children to explore and go crabbing in. Although it is mostly a sandy beach, there are patches of shingle and some dunes.

Facilities include toilets, a dog-friendly cafe, beach huts, deckchair hire, surfboard hire, pay parking and lifeguards in summer months. Parking can be booked in advance, an option on hot summer days when it can be full.

If you want more information on the area visit our local Chichester Destination page or our regional West Sussex Destination page.
