I used to come to this beach (and town) every summer from the age of 5 - 14. The whole family would…read moredescend down from London, book up into the local caravan park and spend the holiday together. During that time (I'm now 25 and took my partner here yesterday ) and up until now, not a great deal has changed. This however is not a bad thing. The beach is beautiful, windy at time but regardless, one of the most softest sands you will feel on British soil. The dunes make for a fantastic view and offer some relief from the wind (if you have it that day) I highly recommend visiting this beautiful little town, it's beach and the local town of rye. This isn't your normal great British beach, this offers just something more that feels special.

'They do it down at Camber Sands, they do it at Waikiki' wrote Squeeze. Don't know why. Anyway,…read morethis place is THE off season sandy beach round these parts. Forget the summer, that's all Stella Artois, dodgy tats and lobster coloured sunburnt yobs & no-place-to-park territory. Autumn, winter & spring are for those 'in the know'. This place is massive, really big. I was there a few years ago and there was a beached ship the size of a Dover-Calais ferry there - look at the photo! I missed it initially!!! If you imagine a vast stretch of sand running for miles with wrapped up people walking, horses galloping and wind & kite surfers everywhere, then you have Camber Sands. Fantastic place. Camber itself is a curious run of wooden bungalows looking lost and beaten up by the elements & there is a Pontins style holiday camp too. Cripes! Ignore this & Qype Camber for some of the fantastic beach cafes that are about. For dinner & drinks Qype Rye. A beautiful place if you've never been. Can be a little 'cream tea' but there are some excellent fish restaurants too. A final tip is a stroll round Winchelsea. My favourite East Sussex village. Beautiful.

Next time you're coming to Southend on a day-trip, don't follow everyone else who gets off the C2C line at Southend Central and walks through the town to Three Shells Beach. Stay on to the end of the line and you're in for a treat. East Beach is actually a beach with sand, rather than the small stones which cripple you on your way to the water at Southend's other beaches. The water is great for windsurfing and you don't have to rely on high tide the way you do with the Estuary-side beaches. There is also a huge grassy area before the beach so if sand isn't your thing, you can always set up a few deckchairs and catch some sun. For those who drive, the parking is plentiful although there is a pay and display system. The only thing letting this little gem down is the lack of refreshments available. There was a snack bar by the beach, but this burned down a few years ago and hasn't been rebuilt. It wasn't very good anyway. I understand there are plans to for a new restaurant but this could be some time coming.

The waiting staff are very friendly and quick to serve I have never booked, I have just turned up even on a Sunday and got a table but I get there at midday and while I am there it does get busy. There is also a menu to order from if you dont fancy the carvery.

There is plenty of space to park and the only downfall is the parking fee of £8 (hence the less star) which may be good if one is staying the while day but not for 3 hours or less. I don't see the point though having a man collect your money to slip into the machine which opens the doors, one can do that themselves! After some time on the sand, we went for some ice cream (these guys at the time served a descent amount!) and walked down along the sea for a sunset watch. It is great for family and children or a group of friends. It was fairly easy getting to West Wittering from The London are for whoever will be travelling that far.

Nice and quiet beach - dog friendly at dusk…read more A very short stroll away from the town Centre is the great Stone Bay. I liked it better than Viking Bay in town. It is a very lovely beach, bigger than Viking, but also a lot more quiet. It is backed by a long array of colorful beach huts. It is mostly a family beach during daytime and gets more quiet after 6pm. That's also the time when dogs are allowed to run free. Besides that you are allowed to BBQ after 6pm ON the beach. At dusk you have the beach pretty much to yourself. We visited in high season....and it was quiet.Of course for our dog it was heaven. Played a lot and met lots of doggie friends. Just make sure to pick up your dogs "business" pls. We enjoyed this beach, the sun....the quiet. Surely a must-do when in town, especially as a dog-owner.
