Church Norton

Church Norton Beach is a beach located in Sussex, UK. It is composed of shingle and sand and is situated six miles south of Chichester.

The beach can be accessed through a nature reserve, and parking near St Wilfrid's Chapel is limited. This helps to keep visitor numbers low.

The western end of the beach is often frequented by naturists, while birdwatching is a popular activity on the beach. Certain areas are roped off during breeding season to protect the birds.

Caution is advised around the harbour mouth due to strong currents.

Church Norton: Weather Today

📅 Friday, April 24, 2026
Today is a challenging day for a beach visit, best suited for a brisk walk along the shore rather than lounging or swimming. While the skies will be clear and bright, the air temperature remains quite cool at 14.3 °C, making it far too chilly for sunbathing. You will also encounter rather strong, blustery winds that make sitting on the sand uncomfortable. The water is extremely cold at 12.3 °C, so stay well away from the waves, which are moderate in size. Although it is a beautiful day to enjoy the fresh air and the coastal scenery, please keep your coat on and be prepared for the biting breeze while exploring the coastline.
