Many of the Original Pagham Beach dwellings are bungalows constructed from old railway carriages, although many have now been rebuilt using more modern construction methods.
The Church of St. Thomas a'Becket is considered to be one of the finest of its type in England.
Pagham is home to ale and beer pubs 'The Lamb', 'The Lion' and 'The Bear' as well as the popular 'Inglenook Hotel' which is a favourite stop off point for many during visits to events at Goodwood Circuit and races.
The Site of Special Scientific Interest known as Pagham Harbour falls partly within the parish.[2] The harbour and surrounding land is of national importance for both flora and fauna. The shingle spit is of geological interest.
A Phoenix type Mulberry Harbour is visible in the bay at low tides.
