Wide sandy beach on the Manhood Peninsula, south-facing. Works in SSE through WNW — WSW is the especially good cross-shore angle. Best at low tide; the high-tide shore-dump can be aggressive and catches people out. More open-sea waves and bump-and-jump than Camber. Schools: 2XS Watersports (West Wittering), Get Kiteboarding (Bracklesham).
