Map of the UK

Middleton-on-Sea is a coastal ward in the district of Arun, West Sussex, England, lying along the south coast between Bognor Regis and Littlehampton. The area is defined by its shingle beach, low dunes and seafront housing, and it mixes holiday accommodation and caravan sites with a substantial retired and residential population, giving it a quiet, seaside character outside the summer season.

Historically a small farming and fishing settlement, the ward grew in the 20th century as a leisure and commuter location and now has a blend of older cottages and later suburban development. Coastal management and environmental sensitivity are notable here because of nearby saltmarshes and bird habitats at Pagham Harbour, and the ward is within easy reach of the rolling countryside of the South Downs, while remaining administratively part of Arun district.
