The Witterings, made up of Bracklesham Bay, East Wittering and West Wittering are renowned for water-sports and pretty much any day, in any weather, you will find people out on the water. A great spectator sport, but should you wish to join them, equipment hire is available in many of the local shops.

East Wittering Village
Known by local’s as ‘God’s pocket’ due to its sunny climate, East Wittering is bursting with places to eat and drink. The village is lined with trendy surf shops, such as Shore Watersports, drinking and eating venues, such as Drifters, traditional village shops, butchers, bakers and grocers (we even have our own chocolatier)! You will able to find absolutely everything you need for your stay right on the doorstep.

Bracklesham Bay
This is a destination beach for walkers, surfers and families alike. The beach is a mix of sand and stone depending on the state of the tide, a perfect place for buckets and spades. A prehistoric coastline, keep your eyes peeled for fossilised sharks teeth which can be found lying in the sand. You can walk along the beach from Bracklesham Bay to Selsey in the East or towards the villages of East Wittering and West Wittering in the other direction. Billy’s On The Beach café is an absolute highlight and a minute or so walk from our properties but get in quick as the popular fresh seafood dishes are quick to sell out!

West Wittering Beach
Miles of sandy dunes, and protected National Trust area. Local watersports tuition available. Parking at West Wittering must be pre-booked.

Chichester Harbour
A rich environment for sailing, there are many beautiful places to day trip in the harbour. To name a few, historical Bosham, a trip on the ‘Itchy’ (Itchenor) ferry and Chichester Marina are well worth a visit. If you’re interested in walking there are some beautiful stomps within the parameter of the harbour.
