This week on Tuesday Treasures, I am featuring the pics I took on our walk along Littlehampton beach on Sunday morning. And this time around, the tide was in. Some of the photos were taken on the small pier at the mouth of the River Arun – we were lucky with the sunshine, after a rainy, stormy week. And evidence of the storms is the seaweed strewn across the beach.









What lovely photos! It looks like a gorgeous day, and a beautiful beach. x
It was the loveliest day and our beach isn’t as pretty as some – but the EU spent a lot of money on our area, after it had taken a bit hit in the 70s depression. So it now looks a lot spiffier and attracts a lot more tourists.
Lovely pics Sarah – and that must have been some powerful storm to throw out that piece of timber onto the beach.
Lynn 😀
It was a real blow – I’m very glad we were tucked up at home and not down on the beach when that storm came through!
Enjoyed these even more close up.
I’m glad you like them, Rae:))
That lighthouse is cool. Was/is it a working one or just for show?

Oh, it’s working alright. Littlehampton is a commercial port that processes gravel and large dredgers navigate their way up the Arun regularly when the tide permits. And the river also has the 2nd fastest current on the south coast with a tidal range of some 17 ft at springs, so fishing boats and leisure need to keep clear if they aren’t thinking of entering the Arun – or carefully pick their time at slack water when they are. I used to know the actual signal for the Littlehampton lighthouse off by heart – back in the day when I sailed:)).
Lovely and you can even wear a scarf and jacket. Still hot here.
As it happens, it wasn’t as chilly down on the beach as I’d thought, though there was a northerly blowing, hence the flat sea…
Beautiful pics! Especially of the beach 😀
Thank you, Mogsy:)
What a lovely sunny day😁 I love that bench, its also a work of art!
It is great fun, isn’t it? It’s unusual not to see a bunch of children climbing all over it – and folks have an opportunity to have one of the wooden slats replaced by one with an inscribed memory of a loved one, which I think is a lovely idea…
Thank you for sharing, Sarah! Such nice photos. Looks like a lovely beach.
Thank you! It is a really nice beach – there’s plenty of sand for those who enjoy it, at low tide, but there is also lots of shingle, which I personally prefer.
What great photos, I love that bench, its so unique!
Thank you, Heather. It is a wonderful bench, isn’t it?
Lovely photos, Sarah!
Thank you, Jennie:))
You’re welcome, Sarah!
Looks like you had some nice weather with some rare sun. You took some great pictures! I especially like that close up off the waves. It’s been a while since I’ve been to the sea.
Thank you, Lola – yes, it was a lovely day, weatherwise. And a walk along the beach is always a treat.
Aw, lovely to see you on an adventure, Sarah! That bench is certainly something else. Does anyone sit on it? 🙂
Yes – not the swirly bits, but it also runs right along the wall, so people often it on straight bits, while children usually clamber all over these sections:))
