Gatwick and its attractions for beach lovers
While Gatwick itself is not directly on the coast, its nearby several beautiful beaches makes it a great base for beach-loving travellers. A short drive or train ride will lead you to Brighton, famous for its vibrant pier and pebble beach, where you can enjoy the lively atmosphere, indulge in fresh seafood from local vendors, and explore the quirky shops of the Lanes. For a more tranquil setting, head to the picturesque village of Shoreham-by-Sea, where you can stroll along the sandy shoreline and soak in stunning views of the South Downs. If you prefer a bit of adventure, the nearby West Wittering offers watersports, from paddleboarding to kitesurfing, perfect for families with older children seeking thrills. For a unique experience, don’t miss the charming beach huts at Littlehampton, where you can rent a hut for a day and enjoy a picnic with your family right by the water. When it comes to accommodation, consider staying in the coastal towns within easy reach of Gatwick, where you’ll find a range of quality hotels offering attentive service and stunning sea views, ensuring a relaxing retreat after a day of beach exploration.
