Wildlife

Beyond Oval Field lies perhaps the most secretive of Selsey’s beaches, the true sandy beach of Selsey. With no facilities bar the benches and picnic tables in Oval Field itself, this is the most secluded stretch of the coastline and therefore maybe the most natural.

At the mouth of Pagham Harbour lies a shingle spit, creating a quiet beach on the north eastern side of Selsey. This is the perfect retreat to see an abundance of wildlife in its protected natural habitat.

On a fine day the Isle of Wight can be clearly seen from Marine Beach, as well as ships in the English Channel. Enjoy a cup of tea from the seasonal kiosk as you breathe in the clean air afforded by being near the very tip of the peninsula.
