About This Place

East Wittering beach is typical of many beaches along England’s south coast with its shelving shingle and wooden groynes. As the tide goes out expansive sand flats are revealed - the kind of sand that is perfect for building sand castles and ball games! --> East Wittering is 2 miles from its more popular neighbour, West Wittering, and remains a good choice for those who prefer a quieter location. The family-friendly beach is easy to access from Shore Road and Tamarisk Walk with multiple paths through the grass-covered dunes. Dogs are banned from the main beach in summer and there are no lifeguards. Most facilities can be found in the adjoining village including cafés, shops and pubs. Sailing is popular from the beach and there may be flat water or light bumpy waves depending on the tide and wind direction. It is also good for beginner surfers with a low beach gradient and lack of hazards such as rips and rocks.

💡 Our Take

East Wittering Beach in West Sussex is a tail-wagging paradise where dogs are welcome year-round, perfect for seaside frolics any time. Its expansive sandy and shingle shorelines offer ample space for energetic pups to run and play, making it ideal for big dogs and puppies alike. You’ll find ample parking nearby, though remember to bring water for your pooch, as facilities are limited directly on the beach. Its gentle waves provide a safe swimming environment, especially for more cautious or anxious dogs. Pack a picnic and dog toys for a delightful day out, as recommended by DogParkUK.
