The walk
This is a walk around the lovely sandy beaches and sand dunes of the West Wittering Estate. The walk takes you around the beautiful coast and visits the church, but it also takes you to the start of the East Head Spit.
We would have mapped a route around the East Head peninsular itself, but it is only accessible at lower tides (check online for best times to visit) and sometimes areas of the dunes are fenced off for conservation, so we thought it's best for you to explore it yourself on the day as part of this walk.
