Beach Road

Street guide, Pagham

A road leading towards the shingle beach at Pagham, providing access to the shoreline for residents and visitors. Beach Road has a scattering of bungalows and houses, some dating from the interwar period when Pagham Beach first attracted permanent residents. The road has an exposed, coastal character, with the sound of the sea audible from the seaward properties. Parking at the end of the road is limited but used by dog walkers and beach visitors. Coastal erosion remains a concern for properties closest to the shore, and sea defences have been a recurring topic in local planning discussions.
