Pett is a small coastal village and civil parish in the district of Rother in East Sussex, lying on the stretch of shoreline between Hastings and Rye. The parish includes the low-lying plain of Pett Level, with its long shingle beach and saltmarshes; at low tide you can sometimes see the remains of an ancient submerged forest and the area offers wide views across the English Channel and easy access to coastal walks.
Historically the community grew from farming and small‑scale fishing and folk memory of smuggling lingers in the local lore; there is a small historic centre with a parish church and traditional village amenities. Today it is a quiet spot popular with birdwatchers, walkers and people seeking a coastal retreat, while many residents commute to nearby towns for work, keeping a strong local community life.
