West Wittering
Edit SpotAbout
Worth a go if you don't fancy the shore dump down the road and certainly a better looking spot than Shore Road or Bracklesham.
Watch out for the windsurfers and swimmers though. Can be a bit of a pain!
Atmosphere:
The atmosphere is great and the locals are always friendly and relaxed. Its always really clean as it is part of the national trust.
Additional Info:
Huge car park but can be expensive in the summer.
A few different spots to surf along the beach and a couple past the sand bar in you fancy a paddle.
Sand bar blocks the swell at low tide but a decent wave can break over it at high tide with a good ground swell.
