The beach is absolutely beautiful for enjoying the sunset, with its pebbles. Since we stayed at the Seal Bay resort, it was convenient for us to access. Just remember to bring swim shoes for walking in the water during your visit.

We stayed at a beachfront lodge, and as usual, it was a wonderfully serene and sunny week. Looking forward to seeing you again soon, haha...

The beach is absolutely fantastic, offering a serene atmosphere and stunning sunsets. During my stay, I made it a point to take a leisurely walk along the beach every day. The sound of the crashing waves and the refreshing sea breeze were absolutely incredible - I highly recommend paying a visit, even if you're just passing by.

Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Windmill beach (West Sussex) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Windmill beach (West Sussex) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Windmill beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
