Littlehampton is a family-friendly, seaside resort with award-winning beaches and an enviable position on the south coast of England.

A brand new riverside development has injected new vitality into the town and provided extra attractions for visitors, especially watersport enthusiasts who flock to the resort during the summer months. 

The Look and Sea! Visitor Centre hosts an interactive exhibition of the town’s maritime history as well as a five-storey tall viewing tower with magnificent views across the River Arun, out to sea and towards Arundel and the South Downs.

Across the river at West Beach, you will find the unspoilt sand dunes and rare plants and wildlife that are protected as a site of special scientific interest.

For the kids, there are fantastic bathing waters and lots to do on the European Blue Flag winning beaches. Littlehampton is a fun town, with friendly locals, a good mix of restaurants and bars and a guarantee of some of the best sunshine in the UK.
