West Wittering Beach

The beach is set within a private estate. There is a parking charge which increases in the peak season. Paid via an app. It is well maintained and has a couple of places to eat or get a coffee. The Toilets in the main lifeguard station are very clean. It's a nice place to take a walk whilst looking across to Hayling island and the IOW in the distance. It does attract loads of dog walkers who let their dogs run freely (although this was in March) I'm not sure if it's allowed during peak season?

A wide, relaxed beach that’s worth the drive 🌅 I’ve been to West Wittering Beach a few times now, and even though it’s a bit further out for me, it’s one I keep returning to. The beach itself feels wide and open, with very soft sand that’s easy to walk on and comfortable to sit on. Parking has always felt straightforward during my visits, and there’s somewhere nearby to get food if you don’t bring your own. On calmer days, the coastline has a clean, open feel that reminds me of beaches I’ve visited abroad. It’s also often less windy than some other coastal spots, which makes it easier to relax for longer. On one visit, the number of seagulls around people eating stood out. When food was left out, it quickly attracted birds and disrupted the area nearby, so it’s something to keep in mind if you’re planning to eat on the sand. Facilities are close to the beach and have felt well maintained when I’ve used them. The sunsets are another highlight, especially when the sky is clear. Overall, it’s an easy and reliable place to spend time by the coast when the weather’s good.

Lovely beach! Have visited a handful of times through the last few years. Perfect beach to relax, take a family or go for a swim. Sandy beach, very spacious. Only downside is difficult/expensive parking but I guess that is expected on a beautiful beach like this one. Traffic to get in/out of the area during school holidays/ summer weekends is crazy! But well worth the visit!

A vast sandy beach with its own sand dunes and backed by brackish water lagoons. The payment to park is very good value for an all day stay and avoids all the queues of speculative parkers in the past. Good toilets and restaurants to suit all tastes and pocket. Children will enjoy the dunes and the intertidal pools along the beach. A very shallow swimming beach at high tide, and exposed so a very windy venue for kite surfers. You can walk to East Wittering along the high water mark and admire all the houses. Or walk clockwise round the coast and get views up to Portsdown Hill and the chalk quarry face North of Portsmouth island. Villages, churches more restaurants and boat marinas and clubs to discover on your walk.

This is a very popular beach among many British beaches. It is not only very large but also has very fine sand. Even if you walk on it barefoot, you will not feel any discomfort. If you like to go in the water, you can come here to have a good time during the heat wave. But even if you don’t like swimming, walking barefoot on this beach is also a very good holiday program. Many families and couples will bring their equipment to enjoy a wonderful afternoon.

It’s not a bad beach, though you’ve got to catch the weather. Loads of people cook things up, play games, make a racket. If you’re after a proper chill-out spot, you’d probably want to look elsewhere. But if you’re into that lively beach vibe, you’ll enjoy it here. There are public loos, a few snack bars where you’ll spend a fair bit of time queueing but still have a laugh. All in all, it depends what you’re comparing it to. Best to check the photos and make your own mind up.

Good place to visit with kids to play with sand and make castles. Easy to swim and we enjoyed a lot. Good time to visit after 12pm and when it is becoming late the water flow will go return. If you are going in the weekend book parking slot in advance

Incredible beach, silky sand, safe for children as you can walk almost a mile out to sea and it’s knee deep especially at low tide. Great for canoeing and sup boards Note that traffic can be crazy to get in if the weather is great so leave early and be prepared to leave late. Pack a picnic as not much around in forms of shops as it’s really remote with ample parking. We paid £15.75 on way out. The have registration tracking as you come in so easy to pay via QR code etc Beach feels endless and lots of space to create your own spot like we did for the children and our dog with a bit a bit of shade from a pop up tent

Great day out, lovely to actually go to a family and dog friendly beach that's sand and not have to drive miles. Only down side is having to pay for parking otherwise would be a 5/5 experience. Highly recommended
