The parish of Littlehampton sits at the mouth of the River Arun on the English Channel coast in the district of Arun, West Sussex, England. Its seafront blends sandy and shingle beaches with a small harbour and marina, and the Victorian promenade hints at the town's growth as a seaside resort; the estuary and nearby coastal paths also make it popular for sailing and birdwatching.
Today the community mixes tourism, light industry and residential life, with local attractions such as the sculptural East Beach Café, family-focused Harbour Park and Littlehampton Museum, alongside an active arts scene and regular coastal rail connections. The place retains a strong maritime character shaped by historic trade and leisure, giving it the feel of both a working riverside town and a mellow seaside destination.
