Bracklesham Bay
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bracklesham Bay is a coastal bay on the west side of the Manhood Peninsula in West Sussex, England. The bay looks out onto the English Channel and the Isle of Wight is visible from the beach, as is the Nab Tower.
The bay is sandy and backed with shingle. The beach is popular with windsurfers, divers, surfers and fossil hunters, as the Bracklesham Beds, a well known fossil bed is visible at low tide. The bedrock is London clay, and bits of the clay can be found on the sands.
The villages of Bracklesham and East Wittering are found in the centre of the bay and it is bordered by the town of Selsey on the southern/eastern tip and the village of West Wittering on the west side.
The nearest city is Chichester, which is 8 miles to the north.
