About This Place

The sandy beach of Middleton-on-Sea, just east of Bognor Regis, is one of the sunniest spots in the United Kingdom. For a beach along this stretch of coastline it is relatively quiet and tranquil, being used mostly by locals walking their dogs. The beach includes substantial sea defences against coastal erosion, including wooden groynes and a sea wall. --> The main reason the beach is so quiet is that there are few access points and this is via pedestrian only private roads. A small, pay-for private car park can be found along Elmer Road, a few hundred meters walk from the beach. Also, at the beach there is nothing in the way of facilities. Pubs, restaurants, and shops can be found in Middleton-on-Sea itself.

💡 Our Take

Looking for a relaxed beach day in West Sussex with your furry friend? Middleton-on-Sea Beach welcomes dogs year-round with no restrictions – paw-fect! The sand and shingle mix is ideal for a good dig, and the gentle waves offer safe paddling. Parking is available nearby, and local shops provide essentials, though facilities directly on the beach are limited. We'd recommend bringing your own water. This quiet beach is brilliant for dogs needing space. However, the lack of constant supervision means it's best for well-behaved dogs with good recall. Always keep an eye on the tide!
