West Beach Littlehampton
Access to West Beach and its sand dunes is via a footbridge on the riverside towards the town centre. This area is part of a nature reserve and is a site of special scientific interest, which has national protection. This beach is generally quieter and includes sand flats, shingle and one of only three sand dune systems in West Sussex.
River Arun Walkway
From the quaint lighthouse on the East Pier, if you turn around and head inland down the re-developed riverfront promenade, there is a pleasant walk to be had. Views of the river, the marina and, in the distance, Arundel and the South Downs National Park. Look out for the resident swans and other wildlife as well!
East Pier & Lighthouse
The East Pier sits where the River Arun meets the sea, and is the perfect place to spend some quiet time on a hot summer’s day. Relax and enjoy the view of both the beach and river and if you’re feeling a tad sleepy, then there’s nothing stopping you from having a little snooze in the sun, as many of the locals often do.
