Camber Sands is a stunning stretch of golden sand stretching for miles along the Sussex coast. Unlike many British beaches, its vast dunes create a wild, almost desert-like landscape. The beach is a popular destination for water sports, especially windsurfing and kiteboarding, thanks to consistent winds and shallow waters. Behind the dunes lies a nature reserve with rare plants and birdlife, offering peaceful walks. Families enjoy the wide, clean sands for building castles and paddling. Lifeguards patrol in summer, and there are cafes and facilities nearby. The beach is also a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest.
Don't miss
- Kiteboard or windsurf in the shallow, windy waters off the main beach.
- Walk the nature trail through the dunes and reserve, spotting rare birds and plants.
- Relax on the vast, clean sands and watch the sunset over the sea.
