For family fun and fantastic weather - Littlehampton is hard to beat. A Blue Flag and Quality Coast Awards, harbour and a stunning riverside development make Littlehampton a seaside town with space, style and lots of sunshine.

Littlehampton is lucky to have two contrasting beaches to offer visitors. The East Beach is traditional sand and shingle and perfect for families. And the West Beach is more tranquil with abundant wildflowers and sand dunes on the shingle beach.

We are delighted to announce that Littlehampton Coastguards (and neighbouring resort Bognor Regis East ) both have European Blue Flags and Quality Coast Awards. In 2009!
