About
About Littlehampton
Littlehampton is a town, seaside resort and civil parish in the Arun District of West Sussex, England. It lies on the English Channel on the eastern bank of the mouth of the River Arun.
Littlehampton lies on the mouth River Arun, around four miles South of the historic settlement of Arundel. Like its coastal neighbours, the town is a product of the 19th century, and features all the usual quirks of a Victorian seaside resort. The town centre is around a 5- to 10-minute walk inshore, and features all the usual staples and amenities of a medium sized provincial town. Littlehampton is often considered to have a grittier, more industrial culture than most of its companions along the shore, a reputation perhaps gained from the maritime nature of the town.

Getting there
Getting to Littlehampton: airports and arrival
The nearest airport with scheduled flights is London Gatwick Airport (LGW), about 45 km from the city centre in a straight line; Southampton Airport (SOU, 59 km) and London Heathrow Airport (LHR, 74 km) are also within reach.
Getting in
The A259, one of the main south coast routes, runs through the northern fringes of the town, and the town centre/seafront are clearly signposted along this route. From the north, Littlehampton is linked to London via the A24 and the A280 or the more scenic A29 via the A284 and Arundel. There are a number of car-parks in the town centre, which operate partly on a disc-based system. Discs are easily obtained from local stores and offer free parking for 2 hours. Alternatively, more traditional pay and display methods are available, both in town centre and seafront locations.
Getting around
The main attractions of the town, notably the seafront, are generally within a 15-minute radius of the station and of the main town centre car-parks. The best way to get between the beach and the town/station is via the river walkway, which can be reached at a number of points from River Road. The unspoilt natural beauty of West Beach and the marina is also connected from here, across the red pedestrian-only drawbridge easily visible from the walkway in the opposite direction to the main seafront attractions. On-road and off-road cycle routes to, from and across the town have been improved.
