south coast, which is mostly rather painful pebbles.
West Wittering gets busy during peak season, but the beach is large enough that you can usually escape the throng and when the tide’s out it feels like the beach goes on forever. There’s a carpark, toilets and a dog-friendly cafe.
Dog are welcome but there are some restrictions: from the 1st May to mid-September dogs are not allowed in the area in front of the beach huts.
