Camber Sands

Known also as "Broomhill Sands", Camber Sands is a 7 blue flags huge shallow sandy beach reputed to be the finest in the South-East.It works about 3 hours either side of low water complete with the periodic lagoons. After this the sea is onto the groins and it is not advisable to kitesurf.At low tide there's a long walk to the water, but conditions are fantastic for speedsurfers .The beach works in W, SW, S, SE and E. Parking and kitesurfing is at the Jury's gap car park at the end only.
