Camber is surely the ultimate beach, with its white sand dunes, marram grass and wide, shallow beach. Children will love collecting shells, building sandcastles, paddling in the sea and sliding down the dunes (and perhaps some adults will too). Make sure to read the safety information before visiting, and check you understand what the lifeguards' flags mean.
Please note, when it’s hot and sunny, the access to Camber becomes very congested. The best times to visit Camber Sands are either early in the morning or later in the afternoon, when it may be quieter.
Or for the traditional seaside experience complete with amusements, funfairs, a pier, and convenient access to shops, cafés and restaurants, head to Hastings. With a dramatic mix of shingle, sand and soaring cliffs, the beach stretches the length of the town and beyond.
Heading to Camber or Bexhill? Consider downloading the Beach Check UK app before you visit!
Beach Check UK is an innovative new app which allows you to check the status of Bexhill and Camber beaches before you arrive so you can avoid congested beaches and discover nearby beaches that are quieter and less crowded.
It’s free (with no in-app purchases) and simple to use; it works on a traffic light system so you can check individual beaches or see a map showing red (crowded), amber (less congested) and green (uncongested) beaches. Download it now from Google Play or the Apple App Store and find your happy space in the sun this summer!
