This site is designed to cover Pevensey Bay & Pevensey, together with local information and related beach information from local villages and towns to the rest of the world.

Information about sea defences, environment and odd features related to coastal towns.

Thought: In the United Kingdom no one lives more than 72 miles from the sea. For us, as an island nation, the sea has an all-embracing presence. Spiritually and physically we are intimately connected with our shores. The sea has immense power, which we ignore at our peril.

History: In 1066, as the “long-haired star” of Halley’s Comet blazed through the skies above England, William the bastard of Normandy mustered an invasion fleet off the coast of Normandy. At the end of summer he set sail — around 700 ships containing perhaps as many as 7,000 men landing at Pevensey Bay in Sussex on either September 28 or 29.

Contributions: We welcome contributions to the site, especially from the local community in "Pevensey Bay". So please any suggestions, articles or events can be put on the website to reach over a 1000 viewers per month, from a free facility providing information for well over a decade.

New Features:

I have just been scanning in a large number of slides featuring Newhaven, East Sussex in the 1970's showing the harbour, the construction of the new swing bridge, removal of the old swing bridge and the building and launching of the Sovereign light tower, together with the Newhaven - Dieppe ferries. I will be adding content over the next few weeks.
