Elmer Sands Beach Info | West Sussex Coast

Elmer Sands Beach is a typical West Sussex pebble beach with a high water steep pebble bank and wooden groynes. The beach expands into flat, compact sand as the tide goes out. You have some fascinating rock islands which form part of the local sea defence that, at low tide, become accessible and are great to explore for shells, shrimps and crabs, although be careful about climbing them.

Elmer, along with its immediate neighbour Middleton-on-Sea, are excellent family beaches for all ages, great for beach games and rock pools, and when at low tide, the water is very shallow, making ideal conditions for swimming and beginner water sports as you can stand up.

Elmer Sands Beach is a dog-friendly beach all year round. If you get bored of just sitting on the beach at mid to low tide, you have a nice easterly walk away from the built-up area towards Climping Beach where you can have a cake and ice cream before returning.

The beach is tough to access due to the private gated beach-side estates, common on this stretch of coast, but this is the greatest benefit as it limits the number of people on the beach, even on sweltering summer days to locals and those staying nearby.

The beach has no facilities, with the closest being some shops and pubs located on the main road just back from the beach. There is a free car park in Middleton-on-Sea village – the postcode for this is PO22 7SR

Behind the beach, you have the Elmer Sands Estate, which has a Boating and Angling Club with an outside shower, and the estate has a grass playing field with a basketball hoop and a small children’s play area. These are all solely for the use of Elmer Sands residents and guests.
