Waves and surf
The beach at Elmer Sands is pebble at high tide and compact sand at mid to low tide. Rock pools exist around the sea defenses at low tide.
The beach is great for families as it is rarely busy due to its private nature and endless space. You can walk for miles easterly towards Climping and Littlehampton and westerly towards Bognore Regis.
