Walk Description:

West Wittering is a firm favourite with our members and it’s easy to see why. With its beautiful sandy beach, open skies and ever-changing coastal views, it’s a fantastic place to walk at any time of year.

Starting from West Wittering Memorial Hall, we have a variety of routes to choose from depending on the weather, tide and conditions underfoot, but they will all eventually take us onto the glorious West Wittering Beach.

When the tide allows, there’s nothing quite like striding out across the firm sand, particularly with poles. The wide, open beach also gives us plenty of opportunity to work with different walking speeds. Faster walkers can stretch their legs and pick up the pace, while those who prefer a steadier pace can enjoy the scenery without feeling under pressure. We have ways of keeping everyone active while still bringing the group back together.

Expect plenty of fresh sea air, great views and good company. It can be windy and blustery on the coast, so please come dressed for the conditions.

A wonderful coastal walk that never feels quite the same twice.

Walking Levels Explained

Easy – Up to 2.5 to 3 mph 

Ideal for casual walkers who enjoy conversation along the way. These walks are mostly flat, and any hills will be tackled slowly and gently.

Moderate – 3 to 3.5 mph

A steady pace that may lead to slightly heavier breathing, particularly on inclines. Suitable for those looking for a bit more of a workout.

Challenging – 3.5 to 4 mph

Suited for experienced walkers who enjoy pushing their pace. These walks may include longer durations (2+ hours), steeper inclines/declines, or uneven terrain. Though challenging, there will be moments to catch your breath, usually on flat or downhill sections.

Note: We never leave anyone behind. The walk leader makes sure everyone is looked after.
