Both Bognor Regis and Littlehampton Coastguards Beaches have been successful in gaining the prestigious Blue Flag Award for 2011. Pebble Cottage sits directly in the middle of these two Blue Flag beaches with some great less crowded beaches close by.
Climping Beach is a quieter area of coastline than its neighbors of Littlehampton and Bognor Regis. Much of the area is now designated of scientific interest, and parts are a nature reserve although many sections of the sand dunes are now fenced off to protect against erosion and help local species to thrive.
Excellent quieter beach to relax on, although very popular with windsurfers and kitesurfers. Or why not explore the sand dunes.
Climping can be walked to from Elmer Sands along the beach at low tide or a coast path at high tide.

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.
