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.
For a selection of information about the area please visit the Coast Radar Beach Guide as this has lots of information including places to visit, tourist attractions and things to do in the area.

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.
