Littlehampton sits at the mouth of River Arun, once home to a busy shipbuilding industry, now offers a slower pace of life as a popular leisure marina.
The town's museum provides an interesting insight into the social history of the area through a variety of exciting exhibitions and interactive displays.
If you're visiting on a weekend, be sure to save time to take a ride on the Littlehampton Miniature Railway running from Mewsbrook Park to Norfolk Gardens.
One of the highlights of the town is located at the seafront. Not only are you treated to scenic views over the English Channel and a quiet walk along the sand but here you'll also come across Britain's longest bench. The structure, measuring 324 metres, is made from recycled hardwood and over 200 slats are engraved with messages and memories from locals and visitors.
The bench runs continuously from the seafront kiosks to the East Beach Café, dipping, twisting and turning along the promenade.
There are two shelters where the bench curves and bends into unusual shaped seats that make a great photo opportunity!
