Littlehampton sits at the mouth of the River Arun on the south coast, in the district of Arun in West Sussex, England. It has a long seafront with a promenade, beach and harbour/marina, and benefits from easy access to the rolling countryside of the South Downs and nearby towns such as Arundel.
Once a small fishing and boat-building town that expanded in the Victorian era, Littlehampton today mixes tourism and leisure with local industry and commuter links to larger centres. Points of interest include the contemporary East Beach Café, the local Littlehampton Museum, family attractions like The Harbour Park and a busy riverside scene with sailing, festivals and ongoing regeneration of the waterfront.
