What to do in Ferring 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 Ferring 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.

A stunning, rugged, and expansive shoreline extends far and wide. The path down to the ocean is predominantly sandy and incredibly gradual, with the water staying shallow quite a distance from the coast. Convenient parking is available in the vicinity. Adjacent to the beach, you'll find a delightful café named Bluebird where you can savor coffee and indulge in delectable sweet or savory treats. This spot is perfect for leisurely walks, unwinding, and soaking up the sun... It's truly enchanting no matter the time of day or season.

A stunning destination to explore. Delightful leisurely walks along the shoreline. An excellent beach and green space with spacious residences lining the coast. It's also enjoyable to wander alongside a narrow stream. The Blue Bird Cafe offers a wide selection of delicious dishes.

Beautiful location for strolling along expansive grassy trails next to a pebbled shoreline. Additionally, the cafe is excellent.

Lovely, somewhat peaceful shoreline. Features a spacious complimentary parking area and a charming café. The beach consists mainly of pebbles, with occasional sandy areas closer to the water. During low tide, there is plenty of sand to enjoy. The water is shallow, allowing you to venture out quite a distance while still remaining waist-deep. It can become crowded during peak hours.

Visited this beach with my furry friend for his inaugural beach experience. The parking area is conveniently located just a stone's throw away from the beach, which was fantastic. The beach itself was lovely - offering a generous amount of space with a mix of sand and pebbles. It's spacious enough to provide ample room for your dog to frolic freely. During our visit at 10.30am, we encountered a few other dogs and people. Restrooms are situated across from the cafe, located at the far end of the parking lot. The only drawback is that some individuals may allow their dogs to approach yours without invitation. This information could be beneficial for reactive or anxious dogs. However, there are numerous secluded areas away from the crowds!

Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Ferring 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 Ferring 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 Ferring 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.
