The village of Pagham sits on the edge of Pagham Harbour, seven miles south of Chichester. Offering a rare mix of coastline, harbour and countryside, this pretty area is popular with holiday makers to the Chichester area.
Pagham Beach
Adjacent to Pagham village and just west of Bognor Regis, Pagham’s shingle beach sits on a stretch of coastline with a reputation to be one of the sunniest in the UK. Good for swimming, yachting and windsurfing, it’s also a popular spot for walkers, with Pagham Harbour nature reserve nearby.
With a number of facilities, including a café, yatch club, shops and toilets, Pagham Beach is often a calmer choice in comparison to the beaches of the Wittering and Bognor.
Pagham Harbour Nature Reserve
Pagham Harbour is a peaceful nature reserve and wetland site for wildlife, and spans across one of the few undeveloped stretches of the Sussex coast – a must for all nature and bird lovers.
This sheltered inlet is an ‘internationally important wetland site’ for wildlife and offers the chance to spot some rare, wading birds as well as seals. When the skies are clear, Pagham Harbour is worth a visit towards the end of the day as birds head off to roost for the night, with a glorious sunset as the back drop.
