The cafe sits right on Littlehampton’s East Beach, offering panoramic sea views through dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows and a welcoming interior designed by Thomas Heatherwick, an award-winning British designer. The unique building, with its undulating raw steel faรงade, has won many national and international awards, making it a destination as much for architecture lovers as for foodies.

Families are welcome, with activities for kids and dog-friendly (outside decking area only) facilities. The venue offers private hire for special events such as weddings and birthdays.
East Beach Cafe’s menu has classic seaside dishes made from fresh, local ingredients. The drinks menu features a curated wine list, including local sparkling wines. Vegetarian, gluten-free, and kid-friendly options are available.
For those who prefer to dine al fresco, there’s a kiosk serving beach-ready takeaways like ice creams, pastries, and snacks throughout the year.
