Selsey East Beach

★★★★☆ (60)

Shallow site suited to Snorkelling and Freediving as well as Scuba; max depth likely to be about 5m at HW when Ebb current will be quite strong. Good point for starting Drift dive along beach to the Lifeboat Station. Be aware of boat traffic around the wooden Ramp - always use a Surface Marker Buoy.

Bootlace weed appears in the Summer months providing sanctuary for small fry and fish; Rays and Cat-Sharks can be seen resting on the bottom - Seahorses have been seen occasionally.
