Did you know? About our tourism brand - Sussex by The Sea
Arun District Council has its very own tourism team, who promote Sussex by the Sea - celebrating everything that makes Arundel, Bognor Regis, Littlehampton and the South Downs wonderful places to visit.
From culture and coastlines to independent shops and amazing food, Sussex by the Sea helps bring visitors into our towns, boosting our local economy and supporting the brilliant businesses and people who make our area shine.
A tale of two Sussex towns …
Lewes and Arundel may sit at opposite ends of the county, both crowned by Norman castles and nestled in river valleys, but their personalities couldn't be more different! Lewes has a famously radical, Protestant heritage, while Arundel is known for its refined, Catholic past. Two historic towns with two totally unique vibes.
And here's something we're really proud of …
Our Sussex by the Sea marketing campaign last year made waves - big ones! We've grown our audience by more than 21,000 new social media followers since February 2025, helping us reach more potential visitors and inspire longer stays, not just day trips. Keep up to date on our Facebook page.
Looking ahead …
As we step into 2026, Sussex by the Sea is gearing up for an exciting season of growth, collaboration, and creativity. This year brings fresh opportunities to highlight our stunning destinations, from Arundel's heritage charm to the vibrant seaside energy of Bognor Regis and Littlehampton, and the breath-taking South Downs.
