West Sussex Sunshine Secrets...

Late July on West Wittering beach.  A beautifully warm, sunny day; the temperatures - and mood - could have matched the Med, or the Aegean.  The crowds were there: families, singles, couples, groups of all ages and nationalities.  Where are they in this photo?  Well, the secret is that if you turn to the left, as you arrive, rather than the right, there are plenty of wonderful, almost secluded, havens to be found.

If you're lucky, you might also spot the horses wandering serenely by the shore, after their ride-out.

Happiness on West Wittering Beach

Apologies for the slightly blurred (phone camera) pic but I couldn't resist capturing the contentment of the charming English Sheepdog, basking blissfully in the warm sand, on beautiful West Wittering beach, yesterday.  Is she contemplating a surf or just enjoying the scenery?

I had a brilliant time exploring, dreaming of living nearby; wandering for miles along the scenic stretch of white sands, colourful beach huts and verdant South Downs backdrop - wonderfully friendly locals, too!
