Welcome to Sunaked Beach!

Hello all! Never good to start with a WARNING but due to heavy rains, Biriing Gap, Sussex, UK is now dangerous due to cliff falls as of today, 30 September 2019.

On to jollier stuff, June 2019 saw a visit to Croatia and two new beaches at Valovine near Stoja; well, two in one really, Close to Pula. See the Croatia page. Also in October, a visit to Son Bou on the island of Menorca. A quick report and a few pictures. Well, what else?

I hear that Banana Beach, Skiathos, Greece is in jeopardy as a developer has bought large amounts of land around the beach. Any update welcome.

I hope this site is of some use, I do pay fees for it. 2020 holds what in store? Somewhere with cheap flights from Southend! I have a few new (to me) beaches to look at in England, France looks possible too. Ooh, the tension...

I know the site is a bit hap-hazard but so am I; you may find pages duplicated. I'm working on it...

Quick boring bit - you are responsible for your own actions on any location regarding the law, possible cliff falls, strong currents, tides, wasps and other natural hazards. Here at Sunaked Towers we cannot and will not accept responsibility. These reviews are as I find the beaches and campsites. Leave nothing but footprints. Take nothing but photographs, leave the beach as you'd expect to find it - litter-free. Oh - looking for sexual content? Go elsewhere. There is none here.

So, without further ado, browse on - and please sign the guest book. Please do this; the site has had over 5,000 hits yet only one entry. This site costs me, plus all the fuel and camping fees. A trip to Devon cost me over £200! It'll cost you nothing (sniff).Thanks.

This beach is a tad remote, to say the least! From the hamlet of Weston, go down Grammar Road EX0 0PH. There are two small car parks on the right, if you see a sign for Acorn Holiday Village you've gone a little too far. The park we want is about 200 yards back. This park is payable to an 'honesty box'! The one we need is free, I believe.

OK there's a track at the far end of the car park, simply follow the path, down the steps, turn right, hop over the stream and go past the old coastguard building. I went there on a sizzling sunny day midweek, three people in total!

No facilities at all, be aware the walk back is quite steep - and long. I'm not unfit but I needed a rest half way! Make sure you know the way back - I got lost and Google Maps served me well! At least take water - I wouldn't try the stream water!

Grammar Lane Weston

Meon, Hampshire, UK

Meon Beach is situated on the east side of Southampton Water, roughly where it meets the Solent. It's easy to get to with toilets and free parking on Meon Road (PO14 4HN) nearby, and just 400 yards away is more free parking at the yacht club by the Pagham Harbour information centre, shop and tea rooms. (You must try the fruit cake!). From the free parking (top left picture), just walk to the beach and turn right, walk past the beach huts for maybe half a mile. The beach is mainly shingle with low cliffs behind. I went on a sizzly Monday in September, very few people about. A pleasant way to spend a few hours in the sun.

Church Norton, West Sussex.

Church Norton is easy to get to from the car park - which makes a change! From the Chichester end of the B2145, head towards Selsey. On your left you will see a small bue sign directing you to St. Wilfred's Chapel. This should be Rectory Lane (PO21 9DT). Follow this lane down to the end, the car park is there. You will see a 5 bar gate on your right as you face the chapel. Fol low this path to the marsh, turn right, walk past the marsh (currently fenced off) and turn left before the bench with a plaque. Walk across the shingle and there you are! The beach is shingle and shells, plenty of space. I went on a sizzly Monday in September and there were maybe a dozen people there in total. Being remote, go prepared - food, water, the usual. Bit of a dull font this but it'll do!
