‘It’s the best beach in England’: Sun readers reveal their favourite stretches of seaside in Sussex

STRETCHING for around 140 miles on the south coast of England from Camber in the east to Chichester Harbour in the west, Sussex’s shoreline is packed with beautiful beaches.

Here pebble and shingle bays are mingled with sandy stretches, with some gaining Blue Flag status for safety and water quality, including West Wittering and Hove.

Whether you’re looking to walk along the spectacular cliffs at Beachy Head, build sandcastles at Camber Sands, try surfing at West Witterings, or venture off the beaten track and find a quieter coastal spot, there’s a beach to suit you.

So the trickiest question on your next £9.50 Holiday will be: which beach should you visit first? 

We’ve spoken to Sun readers who have visited Sussex, as well as local experts, to find out which are the county’s best beaches. Here’s what they said…

Best for families

Sun reader Nora Hinds, 69, from Hounslow, has taken multiple £9.50 Holidays in Sussex over the years, most recently staying at Parkdean Resorts Camber Sands in East Sussex.

She said: “To me, the beach at Camber Sands is the best in England. It has nice sand and wonderful dunes.

"When the kids were little they used to slide up and down the dunes, or we’d go for little rambles in the dunes.”

Parents can also rest easy knowing there are good facilities and lifeguards in the summer months.

And with five miles of Blue Flag beach to explore, you’re sure to find a corner to yourself.

Nora added: “It’s not too busy, as it doesn’t have amusement arcades that tend to attract crowds.”
