Map of the UK

Southbourne is a village and civil parish just to the south‑east of Chichester in West Sussex, England. It sits on the coastal plain at the edge of the South Downs and close to Chichester Harbour, so residents and visitors enjoy easy access to coastal walks, saltmarsh wildlife and rolling downland countryside.

Locally it combines a rural, agricultural feel with commuter links into Chichester and Portsmouth, a modest high street, a parish church and active community groups. Nearby attractions such as Goodwood and the harbour bring occasional visitor trade, and the village’s mix of historic buildings, farms and seaside scenery reflects the quieter side of West Sussex life.
