What to do in Pagham beach? Are there any attractions or entertainments in region?

Extremes can be moderate or excessive, so if you are a fan of the first type, than Pagham beach welcomes you, offering kite and windsurfing. If on the contrary, it is not your kind of activity, we recommend you to find another beach, since the presence of lots of kite surfers on water can have a negative impact on the comfort of your leisure.

The beach is absolutely beautiful, with miles of lovely shoreline. It is a shingle beach with powerful waves, making it a perfect spot to spend the day. Additionally, there is an arcade and an ice cream shop conveniently located nearby. The prices are quite reasonable as well.

The beach is a peaceful and untouched stretch of pebbles, offering enjoyable walks all the way to Bognor Regis for those who are interested. There's a fantastic arcade and café where you can grab lunch, and it's always sunny here while neighboring towns often experience heavy rain.

The beach is mostly covered in pebbles and stones, making it a preferred spot for local residents who enjoy peaceful walks and bring their dogs along. There is a nearby fish and chip shop as well as a café, and across the street, there is a gaming arcade. If you plan to park your car, it costs £3 for the entire day, and they only accept cash.

This pebble beach is absolutely stunning, with a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere, crystal-clear blue waters, and thankfully, no unpleasant smell of seaweed. I could have easily spent the entire day here, simply enjoying the ambiance.

I absolutely adore this beach! I've been visiting it every summer and winter for the past three years to enjoy paddle boarding and swimming in the refreshing cold water. The beach is stunning during the summer months. Additionally, they serve fantastic fish and chips, have a great arcade for the kids, and offer a wide variety of delicious ice creams.

Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Pagham 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 Pagham 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 Pagham 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.
