East Preston is a coastal village and civil parish in the district of Arun, West Sussex, England, sitting on the south coast between Littlehampton and Worthing. It fronts a long shingle beach with low-lying farmland and chalk country rising towards the South Downs, and has medieval roots - the place-name Preston traditionally means a priest’s farm - reflecting a long history of fishing and agriculture.
Today the parish is largely residential, popular with retirees and commuters, with a compact centre of local shops, pubs, a village hall and a range of community and sports groups. Proximity to rail links at Littlehampton and Angmering makes travel to Brighton or London practical, while the coastal path and nearby countryside keep it attractive to walkers and families seeking a quieter seaside lifestyle.
