East Wittering sits on the Manhood Peninsula in the Chichester district of West Sussex, England, and is best known for its long, sandy beach and low dunes that attract families and watersports enthusiasts alike. The frontage is ringed with colourful beach huts and small cafes, while nearby West Wittering and Bracklesham Bay draw walkers, birdwatchers and kite‑surfers; sailing and windsurfing are a big part of the local scene.
Once a small fishing settlement, East Wittering expanded as a seaside resort in the 19th and 20th centuries and today relies on tourism, holiday accommodation and local services, with many residents commuting into Chichester or further afield. It also benefits from proximity to natural assets such as Chichester Harbour, giving the area a mix of strong community life, seasonal bustle and notable wildlife interest.
