EVENT #5
East Head - West Wittering

One of the best walks on the coast has to be an East Head loop. With views across to Hayling Island, Chichester Harbour and even Kingley Vale, this place is special. But getting down to the Witterings can be tricky at this time of year. Traffic can trace further back than the marina.

Leaving super early, or in the late afternoon is the best way to miss the traffic. Alternatively, the 10-mile Salterns Way cycle trail is a guaranteed way to beat the traffic at any time throughout the day.

More information on the current parking situation can be found on West Wittering Beach’s website here.

Have a lovely week.

Feedback is always appreciated.
