Groynes and Jetties, Middleton-on-Sea

Highlight • Structure

The beaches in this area all seem to have groins / jetties to stop coastal erosion and stop the pebbles being washed away. There are no sand beaches, they all seem to be small to medium size stone beaches. Many areas have loads of pebbles washed up onto the concrete shore lines. At times you have to dismount and push the bike through these sections, or try to pick a compact line furthest away from the beach side

West Beach Local Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural

West Beach Local Nature Reserve is a pretty spot situated west of the River Arun in Littlehampton. It provides a much quieter area to walk in compared to the main beach in town and allows you the opportunity to stroll through a variety of beautiful habitats including sand dunes, vegetated shingle, sand flats and a small patch of saltmarsh.

West Beach Café

Highlight • Cafe

Nice coffee, simple menu and very obliging staff on my last visit here. If you are on the west side of the estuary, this is the only place to be.
