Bersted is a civil parish in the district of Arun, in West Sussex, England, lying on the flat coastal plain a short distance inland from the English Channel. The parish contains the suburban areas of North Bersted and the small village of Shripney, and sits close to the seaside town of Bognor Regis, with easy access to the countryside of the South Downs and coastal nature reserves such as Pagham Harbour.
Historically the settlement has medieval roots but saw most of its growth in the 20th century as nearby towns expanded, so the area now mixes an older village character with substantial suburban housing and light industry. Local life is shaped by commuter links to nearby centres like Chichester and Littlehampton, a modest local retail and community infrastructure, and ready access to coastal recreation and wildlife that attract visitors and shape the local economy.
