steep shingle beach with sand and at lower tides some rocks for clambering over. Allegedly loads of fossils as featured on BBC TV. These are apparently in the form of dinosaur footprints. The beach is lovely and quiet for the most part and is genteel. there is a cafe on the beach and further along the promenade towards collington there is the sovereign light cafe as featured in a Keane song. the quality of the water is pretty good and it is increasingly used by stand-up paddle boarderd towards the Collington end. the promenade is unspoilt and people of all ages and stages shapes and sizes can be seen walking and running cycling and generally just enjoying the relaxed atmosphere. there is some squidgy sections of sand but these are by no means dangerous and there is a lifeguard station.

Read moreA pebbly beach very typical of this stretch of the south coast. The pebbles are punctuated by sturdy groynes, which offer some shade from the sun and sea breeze. The beach has a lifeguard for around half the year, and swimming is controlled by safety flags. The nature of the beach makes it unsuitable for young children to attempt to swim along much of its length, but at low tides they will enjoy the rock pools. There are public toilets nearby and various kiosks and food establishments to keep...
