    We walk our dog here every other month. As a treat we have lunch at the bluebird cafe which has become more & more popular over the years. There are lots of dogs on Sundays which is nice for the dogs. The beach is a mixture of pebbles & sand when the tide is out. We usually park at the eastern end & walk west to the cafe & then back again. Love it here

    One of our favourite places, great coastal walk with or without dogs, only ruined by the people who can’t read the signage which prohibits cycling and picnics on the green. A family of cyclists were politely reminded of the policy this week by a couple of members of the public and completely ignored requests to dismount. Continued oblivious to social distancing and cycled three abreast across the walk! Great stroll from the fantastic Bluebird cafe to the equally great Grub and Gumption. Can be wet and muddy out of the summer season but still very enjoyable.

    A fantastic green area with a grassy path along a beautiful beach. Along the route, there are a few benches where you can rest and enjoy the view of the beach and the sea. It's the perfect place for a long dog walk or a solitary stroll from East Preston to Ferring. After heavy rain, the area can get wet and muddy. Although it's still enjoyable to walk, it's a good idea to remember your wellies. The downside is that when the area is soggy, I always come back from the walk all muddy. Unleashed dogs running around tend to jump on me, making a mess of my clothes. It can be quite exhausting.

    Enjoy my visit but as I have to use a mobility scooter had trouble getting to the cafe and the stone by the gate leading to the sea front could be replaced by wood or some sort of path

    What a fantastic place to let your mind free in the vast space and beauty of this long beach. Dogs can have the run of the beach in peace all year round. A great place to get onto the beach with your dogs without all the tourists and beach people everywhere!

    Lovely pathway from Ferring all the way to East Preston. Great for dog walks or on the beach with the kids.

    It's a great place to stroll by the sea off road, but lots of dog walking

  • 4/5 Rebekah H. 5 years ago on Google
    A well maintained beach front walk which can get very busy. Plenty of bins for dog walkers (take note)as it's popular with young families. Easy access to the beach at low tide. Here there is a mix of hard sand and rocky patches but easy to navigate and perfect for dogs.
