The village and civil parish of Southbourne sits on the southern edge of the city of Chichester in the district of West Sussex, in southern England. It occupies part of the low-lying Manhood Peninsula, close to the sheltered waters of Chichester Harbour, a tidal inlet and important conservation area; the landscape is a mix of coastal marshes, farmland and small-scale residential development, reflecting centuries of sea and agricultural influence.
Historically a rural community, Southbourne today combines farming, local services and commuter links into nearby Chichester, with a modest village centre, parish activities and community clubs forming the social core. Its proximity to the harbour and surrounding countryside makes it popular with walkers, birdwatchers and sailors, and local life retains a relaxed, community-oriented feel despite easy access to larger towns.
