About this spot

One of the south coast's most popular kite spots, with a broad sandy beach and a sheltered lagoon that forms at high tide. Flat water conditions suit all levels, though it gets busy at weekends — arrive early for a good launch spot.

Hazards

Groynes on east side · Swimmers near shore at low tide · Crowded beach in summer

Parking

The West Wittering Estate car park is privately operated — pre-booking online is strongly recommended, especially at weekends. Pre-booked rates from £5.75 weekdays and £8.50 weekends; booking ahead saves around 25%. Book on the West Wittering Estate website.
