Camber Sands
Camber Sands is a long, wide beach in Rother with soft golden sand and a gentle slope into the sea. The coast is lined with sand dunes that are the only dune system in East Sussex, creating a natural landscape that stretches for miles.
Camber Sands has a history tied to nearby Camber Castle, built in the 1500s to protect the coast from invasion. Over time it became a popular destination for visitors seeking natural beauty and open space.
This beach serves as a gathering place where people come to enjoy simple seaside pleasures and outdoor activities. The wide sands are used by swimmers, walkers, and kite flyers who share the space throughout the year.
Several car parks provide direct access to the beach, with paid parking during busy seasons. Plan your visit for early morning or late afternoon to avoid crowds, and always check tide times before heading out to the sands.
This beach has served as a filming location for several movies that needed a wide, desert-like setting, attracting filmmakers drawn to its vast open sands. The expansive landscape makes it an unusual choice for creating scenes of remote, empty terrain.
