About This Place

East Preston beach is one of the lesser visited beaches along this stretch of West Sussex coast. It follows the familiar format of beaches in this part of the world of pebbles and groynes above the tide mark and then an expanse of compacted sand when the tide is out. In essence, the beach is very similar to Littlehampton,  Goring and Worthing as it is all part of the same stretch. However, East Preston rarely gets busy. --> The reason for East Preston’s relative obscurity is the lack of nearby parking. Backed by a small caravan park and some rather well-to-do Edwardian villas, there isn’t really anywhere to park when seasonal restrictions come into force.On the beach you’ll find a kiosk selling snacks and the local sailing club. Beyond that there aren’t a great deal of facilities. The beach is dog-friendly all year round though so this helps keep the numbers up.

💡 Our Take

Looking for a perfect dog beach? DogParkUK recommends East Preston Beach in West Sussex! This sandy stretch allows dogs year-round freedom, making it a fantastic spot for off-lead zoomies. Parking is available nearby but can get busy! Sadly, no other facilities are currently recorded by us. Swim safe, checking tide times before you go, as currents can be strong. It's ideal for confident swimmers but exercise caution. This beach is a great fit for bigger dogs who'd benefit from a blast in the waves. However, be sure to keep a close eye on puppies or smaller breeds near the water!
