Goring Gap Beach

By its very name, Goring Gap Beach is a beach that lies in the gap between Goring and Ferring and is part of a long stretch of West Sussex beach. The beach is pebble at high tide and then flat compact sand as the tide retreats, with wooden groynes providing excellent wind protection, and at the back of the beach, you have a large area of grass.

Goring Gap allows dogs all year round. The beach is also a popular beach for horse riding, although summer restrictions are in place to keep them off the beach during the central part of the day.

When the wind picks up, Goring Gap is a popular beach with windsurfers and kitesurfers as the grass area makes it ideal to set up, although be aware of the groynes.

Parking is on the road, or a small car park at the Ferring end of the beach, and the beach has no facilities, but it is only a short walk to either Ferring or Goring beaches, which both have beach cafes and toilets.
