Things to do on the South Coast

Comprising of West and East Wittering and Bracklesham Bay, ‘The Witterings’ has much to offer in terms of water sports, beaches, eateries, and walks. The Witterings also has an abundance of holiday lets, ranging from static caravans to beachfront mansions. With over three miles of accessible beaches – from the stony shores of Bracklesham to the white sands of West Wittering – the area attracts water sport enthusiasts, families, dog walkers, and bird watchers. From the hustle and bustle of the village shops and lively pubs to the quieter shoreline and tranquil walks around East Head, it’s no wonder people return here to holiday time and time again.

Including Selsey, Birdham, Itchenor, Sidlesham, and Pagham, the Manhood Peninsula is home to picturesque seaside villages and well-known nature reserves. These villages provide an amazing base to explore the area. With lovely pubs, cafes, and shops, there’s also a range of butchers, greengrocers and delis stocking local produce. It’s also the perfect area to enjoy walking, sailing, wildlife, and water sports.

Steeped in history and culture, Chichester has far more to offer than just shops and cafes. As part of your holiday, take a day to explore its cobbled streets, modern art, Roman Baths and stunning architecture. Nestled at the foot of the South Downs, the City’s cathedral takes centre stage, with its 277ft spire visible from miles around. It’s also home to the internationally-recognised Pallant House Gallery and Festival Theatre – both drawing thousands of visitors and holiday makers to Chichester each year. Dotted with beautiful parks, boutiques and restaurants, it’s a city you’ll need far more than a day to explore.

Six miles south east of Chichester sits the popular seaside resort of Bognor Regis, which attracts thousands of holiday makers all year round. Whether your holiday let is in Bognor itself, or a nearby village, there’s plenty to do in this bustling, vibrant town when you visit West Sussex. Less busy than The Witterings, Bognor hosts a number of lovely beaches, a classic English promenade with beach games, fish and chip shops and amusement arcades.
