Ferry Road - Shoreham Beach
The beach at Shoreham-by-Sea lies immediately to the west of the historic harbour, where the River Adur enters the sea. It is backed by Beach Road and a number of residential buildings. The large beach, which slopes steeply in some areas, is composed of a mixture of shingle with occasional rocky areas. At low tide a large expanse of wet sand and shingle is exposed. Approximately one and half miles long with the waves being larger at the east end. Best sailed on a rising tide. It can be choppy at high tide and shore dump can also be a problem. Due to the proximity to the South Downs, Shoreham often benefits form a seabreeze cranking the windspeed up dramatically over other places near by!!
