Climping/Littlehampton West Beach
5.00Small area of dunes between Climping and Littlehampton West Beach, between main pebble beach and Littlehampton Golf Course. Unofficial and mainly older gay men. Can walk down to see and swim naked, but probably best to avoid school holidays and weekends in the summer, to minimize any complaints. Parking, refreshments and toilets approx 20-30 mins from either end of dune area.
Pros: Sandy dunes on an otherwise mainly pebble beach. Friendly regulars, mainly older.
Cons: Not official, and there have been complaints in the past resulting in police patrols. Occasional gawker/dog walker. Nearby parking is a little expensive.
