West Wittering Beach

West Wittering Beach is stunning and very well cared for.  The loo’s are what they are. The car park charge!!!  Its reasonable, Where else can you go for a day out with kids and dogs for that price.
The maintenance and care that goes into The Beach, Dunes, Car Park Area etc must be horrendous.
People note. Dont abuse this place, be grateful.

Yes, it’s a sandy beach but for us, the negatives outweigh the positives of that. If you want to go to the beach in summer, you’ll have to pay £14 per car. That wouldn’t be an issue if it was put back into the beach such as developing better facilities; cleaning the beach, or employing staff to police the beach so dogs didn’t freely run and leave mess everywhere.

Beautiful stretch of fine sandy beach. Facilities are fine, the limit on parking keeps it special.
Despite signs saying No Dogs, we found that you only need walk a short distance (5 minutes or less) to a Dog Friendly area.
Don’t complain about £8.50 parking fee. For a day here it’s well worth it.
Enjoy.

Cafe facilities minimal September.
The beach itself is great.

Not really a great beach fan, but visited here more than any other beach.

Thankfully saved from development by the locals in the 1950s and made accessible to all. A very special place and this is reflected in its popularity. People who complain about the parking charges should do some research and consider the cost of lifeguards security maintenance etc.
Admissions is free to people on foot or cycling.

I’ve been coming to West Wittering beach every summer since I was a small child I’m now almost 50!
The parking is pricey but so much better & quieter now you pre book than it used to be.
Toilets are old but perfectly fine and authentic!
New cafe is lovely.
Beach is perfect for everyone. We used to use main beach but since owning a dog we head down to the end and it’s still so lovely. A proper sandy beach day out without a funfair ruining it or costing parents a fortune! ❤️

We love this beach! Absolutely beautiful in every way. Definitely recommend for a family :)

A Lot of people denied entry as staff claim that you should know that you have to pre-book on website to enter the beach as we are doing this since last 3 years. Staff had attitud,  0 respect towards people and lack manners. People were confused at what was going on?? BE AWARE AND PRE-BOOK!!!

Miles of beautiful soft sands from the start of the car park. How anyone can complain about that I have no idea! Stunning and peaceful. And when the tide goes out I couldn’t see the start of the sea. Beautiful, just beautiful. I would love to find the Zones in the summer that are not Dog Free so I can walk them there weekly. An Absolutely gorgeous getaway ❤️

We’ve Visited this very pretty sandy beach often over the years & have no issue pre-booking the expensive parking, it cuts down on the chaos when it’s packed. The dreadful toilet block though IS an issue especially on a busy summers day.  Reminds me of those old seaside beach front Loo’s where you’d rather not use them! Shame on the   Management really as they could do a lot better & that includes dealing with the year round litter & the dog mess, then more ppl would be happy with the huge parking fees.

Lovely beach. Probably the best in Sussex.
Ruined by ludicrously expensive parking fees, appalling and very old toilet facilities which are bordering on a public health problem. Despite all the signage saying NO DOGS there were many dogs on the beach. Some not on leads.
We nearly stepped in dog poo a couple of times with bear feet!! Litter everywhere. Bottle tops, food containers, plastic & glass bottles. No one policing and people basically, selfishly & flagrantly ignoring the rules. If West Wittering Beach estate wish to promote this potentially beautiful place as a 5* resort then they have a lot of work to do before we return and we would not consider taking our grandchildren there!

A windy December day so not the best time of year but sunny. Yes a lot of sand - nice. Outlook? Flat and boring - best views are out to the IoW. Worst aspect are the dingy cell blocks that masquerade as toilets - yuk! Look like converted bomb shelters from the outside and as basic as you can get on the
inside - long, long overdue for some of the high car parking fees to be spent on upgrading these dingy hovels.
