Family Fun in Sussex by the Sea

Sussex by the Sea is a great place to enjoy quality family time together, whether it's building a sandcastle on the beach or flying a kite. We think you'll find it's the perfect holiday location.

Brace yourself for thrills and spills on the funfair rides, water chutes, crazy golf, arcade games and  more at Littlehampton’s Harbour Park.

Take in stunning views of Littlehampton Harbour from the glass-walled tower at the Look&Sea! Centre and learn how the river and harbour have shaped modern Littlehampton with interactive games and exhibitions.

Treat your family to an action-packed visit to Butlins where the 'fun never ends' at the amazing Skyline Pavilion and Splash Waterworld.

Give the kids a sky-high adventure at the award winning Flying Fortress play centre in Ford.  The aeroplane shaped venue is full of mirror mazes, kiddie go-karts, racing slides, pool tables for teenagers and soft play areas for toddlers. 

Catch the latest cinema releases or a show at the Windmill Entertainment Centre in Littlehampton or the Regis Centre in Bognor Regis.

Our green spaces are award winning too. Mewsbrook in Littlehampton and Hotham in Bognor Regis hold the coveted Green Flag status – the highest accolade for parks in Britain. Both offer stunning boating lakes, a miniature railway, children’s play areas and crazy golf.

Another popular boating lake is Littlehampton’s Oyster Pond, originally used to house fishermans' catches.

You can get sporty at the Arun Leisure Centre in Bognor Regis or the Swimming Centre in Littlehampton which make the most of modern facilities such as football pitches, squash courts and competition swimming pools.

For the most scenic outdoor swimming pool in Britain, visit Arundel’s Lido which offers summer visitors the chance to take a dip in the heated pool under the castle’s gaze.
