West Sussex coastline could become watersports hub thanks to £170,000 grant

A project led by the Coastal West Sussex Partnership aims to promote the area’s coastline, attracting more visitors and extending the amount of time they spend here.

Caroline Wood, director of the Coastal West Sussex Partnership, which received the cash from the Government’s Coastal Communities Fund, said: “We’re over the moon to have been awarded this grant. We want to work with all relevant businesses to help put the West Sussex coast on the water sports map.

“We have an incredible variety of watersports available locally, from diving in Littlehampton, to kayaking in Pagham, to kitesurfing in the Goring Gap.
