Littlehampton - what is it like for a family day out?

[BRIGHT ON Q]

West Beach is far nicer than the more popular East Beach, and it's not as isolated as it once was because there's now a passenger 'ferry' which will take you across for £1 a person (I think).

Yep agree with that and the Fred's chippy comment.

 

[Screaming J]

I'm biased coz I was born there! Big beach, good cafes both E & W beach, Norfolk/Mewesbrook Park with swimming pool miniature railway & crazy golf, funfair by the river, little museum + separate look and see centre if that's your thang. I reckon you could spend a happy day there, as long as it doesn't piss down. Oh, hang on........................

Haven't been for some time and always used to like to sit down and have skate and chips in Oscars, where is Freds?

Would like to give it a try when visiting sister in law in Wick.

This !
If the town centre is avoided it is a good fanily day out.

Littlehampton was the closest sandy beach back in the day. We went there regularly as kids. Nice day, sandy beach, what more do you need ?

 

[Easy 10]

It is also a better day out for the family than Haywards Heath.

But then so is Berkenau.

winkle island when the tide is out. Nice chippy in river road. And for the brave a visit to town for a quiet pint. Shame the true blue is shut, but there is always the labour club opposite, you could allways get my uncle to buy you a pint. Loved it growing up.

Littlehampton is all about the beach and riverside and as others have mentioned has some nice boating lakes, play areas and a great open space near the beach for picnics and BBQ's. Buy some localy cought fish from the fish stool by the pier and stick it on the BBQ.

Great for kids under 12 and when the sun is sining a great place to be, town centre is not great but it's a small town so what do you expect? You don't go to Littlehampton for the shopping!

Some nice cafe's/restaurants serving localy cought fish to. Lived there for 4 years now and love it.

Some people can be negative about LA and totaly overlook the riverside and beaches which are great!!

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

I think you already know the answer ...

LA proved too much for the man.

 

[mune ni kamome]

Has a really crap Wetherspoons so may be a SAUCE of Albion info if you fancy a FULL ENGLIHS

LA proved too much for the man.

...That's as maybe, but I have already been to Georgia! Post of the thread.

 

[Bodular]

Went there the other week got locked in the toilet, then flew a kite and had a crap cup of tea, then had a lovely afternoon in Worthing

If I was to draw up a list of the places I would least want to spend a day in Sussex, Littlehampton would be a significant contender for the honour.

thank f*** for that we would not want a twat like you coming to our town any way

 

[vulture]

Don't worry. I might not be perfect, but I'm not scum and you have to be scum to want to be in Littlehampton.

what a prick you are.scum to live in Littlehampton what f***ing planet are you on?

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Don't worry. I might not be perfect, but I'm not scum and you have to be scum to want to be in Littlehampton.

What an idiotic statement. I like Littlehampton. Smashing beach, except for the hideous modern sculpture masquerading as art.

Can only assume you are fishing. I wouldn't like to imagine that you really were that stupid.
