About
Ferring Beach is located in the village of Ferring, West Sussex. Known for its pebbly shores and wide expanses of sand at low tide, the beach is a peaceful and scenic destination, ideal for a relaxing day out with your dog. The area is less crowded than popular nearby beaches, providing a more serene environment.
Dog-Friendly Policies
Ferring Beach is dog-friendly all year round, with no seasonal restrictions. This makes it an ideal spot for a beach outing with your dog, regardless of the time of year.
The beach offers plenty of space for dogs to run, play, and explore, especially during low tide when the sandy areas are exposed.
One word of caution is that the beach often has horses in the early morning as they gain access from the nearby Goring Gap Beach.
Things To See & Do
Ferring Beach is located just beyond the Goring end of the long Worthing seafront. This is the usual West Sussex pebble beach with a wooden groyne system and a steep pebble bank at the high watermark.
The beach is a mix of pebbles and sand, providing varied terrain for your dog to explore. It is ideal for rock-pooling at low tide and swimming at high tide, although the sea can be a long way out at low tide.
You can extend your walk along the coastal path to explore more of the area.
Access and Facilities
A car park near the beach provides convenient access, although the car park and toilets are open only during cafe hours.
There are local shops in Ferring but you should check out the Bluebird Cafe, which offers outdoor seating with views of the sea and welcomes dogs.
