Climping Beach

The beach is known for its natural, unspoiled setting with minimal development. This stretch of coast is a dog-walker's paradise, as many of the beaches merge into one separated by wooden groynes. They stretch from the Arun River estuary at Littlehampton in the east to Bognor Regis to the west, all allowing dogs.

There are big problems with erosion on this stretch of coast, and we have been travelling down for years. The stretch between Climping and Elmer now seems to be left to the mercy of the conditions and has changed so much. You need to be a little careful, as the high-water coast path has taken a battering and can be risky underfoot or just missing in places. So we recommend walking at mid- to low tide when you can stick to the beach.
