Middleton-on-Sea is a coastal village and civil parish in the district of Arun on the south coast of West Sussex, England, lying between Bognor Regis and Littlehampton. The parish occupies low-lying coastal plain with shingle and sandy frontage and nearby saltmarshes, making it popular for sea‑view walks and birdwatching; its position also means that coastal defences and flood management are locally important.
Historically a small farming and fishing settlement, the village expanded with seaside development in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and today combines holiday accommodation, retirement homes, local shops and small businesses with a commuter population. Community life is centred on the village hall, church and various clubs and conservation groups, and there remains a noticeable emphasis on preserving the coastal landscape and local heritage while supporting modest tourism.
