Popular mid-Sussex spot between Bexhill and Eastbourne. Shingle beach at high tide giving way to sandy open beach at low tide; a sandbank at low tide flattens the water and reduces chop. Works best in SW and S (S gives better waves over the sandbar); also rideable in SE, NE, and E at higher tides. Home base of Be-Rad Watersports.
