Beaches

Camber Sands

Camber Sands is an award winning blue flag beach on the southern coastline, which is renowned for its magnificent seven-mile stretch of golden sands and spectacular seascapes and sunsets over the sea. The surrounding area, owned by English Nature is a ‘Site of Special Scientific Interest’, boasting a diverse range of biological and geological features, many rare species of birds, plants and invertebrates.

Samphire Hoe

Samphire Hoe is a new piece of land created by Eurotunnel during the construction of the Channel Tunnel. It covers a 30-hectare site at the foot of the famous Shakespeare Cliff, between Dover and Folkestone (Kent).

It is home to more than 200 species of plants (including the rare early spider orchid with 8,500 plants recorded in 2013), 120 species of birds and 30 of butterflies have been recorded.

Rye

In addition to being an interesting place to visit with its shops and places to eat, Rye is an interesting historical harbour town.

Winchelsea

Winchelsea Beach is an undeveloped, peaceful area with shingle at high tide and sand at low tide, ideal for walking and shrimping. Swimming is safe and Winchelsea has regularly received a Clean Beach Award.

We would recommend a 4-mile walk following the sea wall eastwards, stopping at the Bird Reserve, following the River Rother towards Rye and returning across the tracks past Camber Castle.

Eastbourne

Eastbourne is a little further away but who could resist an opportunity to see the infamous Beachy Head with its stunning views!

Hastings

Hastings beach, like most of the South-Eastern beaches along the South Coast, is a pebble beach. It has expanses of sand, especially at low tide, but is a great place to go hunting for sea-smoothed pebbles and washed up ‘treasure’.
