East Preston sits on a quiet stretch of the West Sussex coast, tucked between the busier hubs of Littlehampton and Worthing. It remains one of the few places along this shoreline that retains a distinct village feel, largely because it is bypassed by the main A254 road, keeping traffic composed mainly of residents and visitors to the beach. The village is split into two main hubs: the northern end near Angmering railway station (which provides direct links to London Victoria and Portsmouth) and the southern end, which clusters around a small parade of independent shops and cafes leading toward the sea. The shoreline here is defined by pebble beaches that reveal wide expanses of sand at low tide, bordered by a series of private estates characterized by established trees and a mix of flint-walled cottages and mid-century architecture. Historically, the area was a farming community, and you can still find the 12th-century St Mary’s Church at its heart, serving as a reminder of its long-standing rural roots before it evolved into the coastal residential pocket it is today.
