'Sussex by the Sea' invites you to explore 14 miles of beautiful contrasting coastline, from the vibrant resorts of Bognor Regis and Littlehampton, to the quiet away- from-it-all beaches of Aldwick, Felpham, Ferring and Pagham, or the secluded unspoilt sand dunes, rare plants and wildlife of Climping and Littlehampton West Beach.
