Overview

Spot in Lancing west of Brighton about 30' by car in a much less urban and more open setting. Large parking lot and grass park just behind the pebble and sand beach with scattered pebbles towards the shoreline especially at low tide. Progressively deep water and a spot conducive to waves. Perpendicular rock breakwater barriers to the beach but spaced from others by very large distances. Possibility to exit the water in case of drift over many kilometers and very sparsely populated beaches even in the middle of summer.
