Cooden Beach

Cooden is your typical Sussex beach, so expect a long stretch of shingle divided up by wooden groynes and you won’t be disappointed. At low tide there are some sandy flats exposed.
This stretch of coast is popular with kite surfers and windsurfers. It is also known for jet skiing although a 8 knot speed limit applies.
Getting to Cooden beach couldn’t be easier as there is a train station practically on the beach. And for those arriving by car there is free parking on the beach front.

Exceptional hidden gem

Aug 21st 2020A wonderful south coast shingle beach. Dog friendly for walkers. Low tide provides 2-3 hours of stay flats for walking and paddling. High tide provides a brilliant swim with yards until you are fully submerged.
Parking on the shingle by Herbrand Walk is easy and the cooden beach hotel offers fantastic seafood and pub fare for inside and outside dining.
Shhhhh don’t tell anyone about it…!
