The bathing water is a resort beach on the south coast in West Sussex, adjacent to Littlehampton Harbour. The bathing water is predominantly a groyned, shingle beach but with gently shelving sand exposed at low water. A promenade sits above the beach with a large grassed area behind. The River Arun crosses the beach at the western end of the bathing water.

Risks

Within the vicinity of the beach there is one storm overflow called Foreshore Tank storm overflow.

There is a further storm overflow over 2 km to the east of the bathing water and another two storm overflows over 500m upstream of the River Arun.
