Watersports in West Sussex
Stay at our luxury beach houses and have access to some of the best water sports in the country
Is there anything more nourishing and energising than the sound of the waves and the feel of the sea breeze in your hair? Sitting directly on the beach, and with panoramic sea views from both inside and out, you are never far from the ocean when you stay at our family friendly luxury beach rentals. A seaside escape is all about escaping the daily routine, and indulging in whatever you want, whenever you want. And for many of our guests, this means getting out on the water for some watersports in West Sussex!
Nearby to some of the best year-round watersports locations in England, our houses are the ultimate destination for watersports enthusiasts. From kayaking and sailing to windsurfing and kitesurfing, there is plenty of opportunity for those of all ages and levels to get stuck in. And after an exhilarating day at the sea, what better way to recuperate than a soothing dip in one of our 38 degree hot tubs, or curling up in front of a roaring fire. Just 90 minutes from London, and sleeping from 2 to 20 people, book your stay at our Angmering on Sea, New England or Club Walk beach house, and experience the watersports in West Sussex for yourself.
Bring your own gear!
For the experienced amongst you, this is a great chance to bring along your own gear and equipment. As all our houses are directly on the beach, launching is easy, crowd free and there is no need to worry about parking. For sailors, sailing conditions are very similar to conditions at Littlehampton, ranging from newcomer to pro. The ideal wind remains SW/W although it can be a great sail on an E/SE. And be sure to note where the groins are at high tide when launching!
Mewsbrook Park
This award winning park on Littlehampton’s Seafront is great for the little ones. With a boating lake, pedalos, kayaks, miniature railway and children’s quiz trail, there is lots to get stuck into. Pack a picnic and stay for lunch, or grab a bite at the café.
