East Preston is a coastal ward in the Arun district of West Sussex, England, straddling the A259 between Littlehampton and Worthing. It sits on a stretch of shingle and sandy foreshore facing the English Channel, with dunes and the rising land of the South Downs not far inland; that mix of coast and downland shapes both its scenery and leisure life.
Traditionally a fishing and agricultural settlement, the area is now largely residential with a notable retired and commuter population, local shops and pubs, and an active community scene centred on village halls and clubs. Historic flint cottages and a handful of conservation-designated streets give it a distinct character, while proximity to nearby towns and transport links keeps it connected to the wider regional economy.
