Rustington Beach

Visit Rustington Beach

Rustington beach on the West Sussex Coast is a sand and shingle beach, with lots of wide open space.

Rustington beach is primarily a shingle beach, with areas of compact sand revealed at low tide. This beach is part of a longer stretch that adjoins Littlehampton East Beach.

This beach is popular for kitesurfing, thanks to the consistent south-westerly winds from the English Channel. The skyline is often dotted with colorful kites when conditions are favorable.

While there are no lifeguard services, the beach offers essential facilities such as toilets and beach hut rentals.

The beach is located near the town of Littlehampton, which offers additional shops and entertainment options for families.
