West Wittering is a compact coastal village and beach on the Manhood Peninsula in the district of Chichester, West Sussex, England, facing the Solent and the sheltered estuary of Chichester Harbour. The wide sandy shore, backed by dunes and saltmarsh, meets the shifting spit at the National Trust-managed East Head, and the whole area lies within the Chichester Harbour Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, prized for its birdlife and coastal habitats.
The place has a strong seaside culture - popular with families, sailors, windsurfers and kitesurfers - and a local economy that leans heavily on tourism, holiday homes and watersports. Nearby RAF West Wittering gives the area a modern military connection, while the village itself retains a quiet, traditional character and ongoing tensions between conservation priorities and summer visitor pressure.
