Climping Beach

Address: Climping, Atherington, Littlehampton BN17 5RN

Climping Beach is a pebble and shingle beach located in West Sussex, England, known for its peaceful rural setting. It has been designated as a biological Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and is also a Local Nature Reserve.

Dogs are welcome on the beach all year round, making it a popular spot for dog walkers.

However, the area has become neglected over time. Large pebble sea defences now block the views from the car park and make it more difficult to access the beach than in the past. Additionally, all amenities such as toilets and cafes have closed, so visitors should plan accordingly.

Parking

There is a medium-sized car park with space for around 18 cars. There are no disabled parking spaces. Parking is free.

Accessibility

The steep slopes and stony surfaces unfortunately make this location unsuitable for visitors with limited mobility.

Visitors who struggle to walk long distances but can climb short, steep slopes may manage at this location due to the beachside parking.

Conclusion

Due to its lack of accessibility features, Climping Beach is unfortunately hard to recommend for visitors with limited mobility. Its isolated location helps keep it quiet and peaceful. If you are able to visit, you'll experience a unique coastline away from crowds, perfect for those seeking tranquillity.

Visitors can find more accessible beaches nearby at Bognor Regis or Worthing.
