Parking

There is a large, free of charge, car park located right next to the beach.

There are spaces reserved for disabled visitors outside the café, but theres no official markings for space size.

The public toilets are located in the car park, opposite the cafe.

Accessibility

With beachside parking, this location is ideal for visitors who find it difficult to walk long distances.

There is a wheelchair-accessible ramp leading up to the Bluebird Cafe's outdoor eating area. However, there is a step at the entrance of the cafe. Visitors can choose to order food either from inside the cafe or through the window outside.

The beach can be accessed by short stony slopes from the car park, or via steps from the cafe's outdoor dining area. Unfortunately, this makes the beach inaccessible for wheelchair users, as there are no accessible walkways.

Nearby beaches such as Bognor Regis, Worthing, and Brighton are much more suitable for visitors who rely on mobility aids.

Conclusion

Ferring Beach is a peaceful and charming alternative to its busier neighbours. Located in a quiet small town, it provides a perfect setting for a restful day out with family or friends.

While it offers some facilities and scenic beauty, visitors with mobility needs may need to consider nearby beaches like Worthing or Brighton, which offer a wider range of accessibility features. Nonetheless, Ferring Beach remains a lovely spot for those seeking tranquillity, coastal walks, and a welcoming atmosphere for all.
