Littlehampton great beach one oc the only sandy ones around. Under 2 hours by train and get a railcard half price train fares so no driving can enjoy yoursslf not alot there but if you want a nice quiet day on the beach defo go here. So clean toilets are cleaner than london people friendly and suxh a clean area.

Super beach, but super busy, it’s going to have great facilities, once all the new showers and toilets are open, the purpose built car park is open and is very reasonable. Be warned though the food huts are very expensive so make sure you take your bags of supermarket grub

Hampton Beach is a little gem that offers all the essential amenities, including clean restrooms, well-maintained beaches, and a long walkway along the sea and riverside. There are plenty of options for fresh snacks, such as donuts, fish and chips, and ice cream. The seawater is clear and blue, and you can easily see where the river meets the ocean. The beach features a small pond with ducks and swans, along with an amusement center and fun park that has a variety of rides for kids and teens. I enjoy this place because it is less crowded, with no waiting time to find parking like at other popular beaches. It’s the perfect spot to relax and soak up the sun in beautiful light. I plan to return soon to explore other side of the long sea beach.

Lovely beach, few meters of large stone to get to the waters,but sandy floor otherwise, clear waters and felt warm at times. Be aware of the large tide when it comes in as we had to move our stuff further away from the sea at some point. Couple of paid parking lots and street parking. Children play ground and two shops with long queues.

Love this beach, so much to do, the kids never get bored. We've been whilst hot and sunny and also overcast either way, still a brilliant day. The ice creams are always a win, the best tasting around.
