You can take a long walk on the seafront with the little harbor full of small fishing boats and cruisers to your right which also houses more swans than I have ever seen in one place, whilst strolling passed numerous seaside huts painted in all the bright traditional colors of a past age…yellow, blue, green and pink!

On the left of the seashore, a short walk from the harbor there are some lovely mature gardens with play areas for the little ones housing its own car park where you can picnic whilst enjoying a family day out by the sea watching the youngsters enjoying the swings and climbing frames.

On busy days Little Hampton offers a scheme whereby youngsters can wear colored wrist bands. On the pavements there are sections colored the same as the wrist bands with an area of beach designated. If the child has a yellow wrist band for instance, then they must stay in the yellow area. If for any reason they stray, then all they need do is look for the color on the pavement to match their wrist band, likewise, if the beach patrol sees a child in an area of the wrong color, they can be guided back to their own designated area of the beach. These schemes have been welcomed by many parents visiting areas where at times its hard to keep track of youngsters amongst the crowds that flock to the beaches year after year.

For the young teenagers there are amusements in a cafe decked out with lots of naval memorabilia housing a wonderful model of HMS Victory. Back in Little Hampton town there are numerous bars and restaurants with more than one award winning fish and chip establishment where you can either sit in to enjoy perfectly fried food or can opt to have a take away to sit by the harbor for example (although you will need an extra bag of chips for the swans and the seagulls!)

If small traditional harbors are your thing, rather than the hustle and bustle of the larger towns on the coast like Bognor, then you won’t go far wrong with Little Hampton…
