Sun-seekers return as West Wittering beach reopens – in pictures

Families and friends enjoyed a day in the sun as West Wittering beach opened to visitors for the first time since lockdown on Wednesday.

Photos show the beach full of life once more, as visitors abide by the new social distancing guidelines. Visitor numbers at the popular beach have been limited in order to ensure that social distancing guidelines can be adhered to. All visitors will have to pre-pay for parking using the app, JustPark, with the car park operating at just 20 per cent of its usual capacity. Anyone without a pre-booked parking ticket should not visit the beach, as there is no other parking in the village. Photos from the beach car park show signs were in place to warn people that tickets were already fully booked for the day. Read more about how the new system works here.
