Village Beaches

The 14 miles of coastline in the Arun District also boast several smaller beaches linked with the seaside villages. From West to East the local beaches at: Pagham, Aldwick, Felpham, Middleton, Climping (aka Clymping), West Beach, East Preston and Ferring are usually quieter and more residential - the kind of beach where your only company might be the birds above and a good book, but with village shops and facilities just a pebble's throw away.

Be aware that there are no continuous roads or footpaths directly alongside this part of the coast. 

It is possible to walk along the sand at LOW TIDE only but please check the Tide Times before you set out and  head inland BEFORE the incoming tide.
