The Promenade is a beautiful & vibrant destination in the seaside town of Littlehampton consisting of a long wide walkway that runs parallel to the beach. The promenade is home to a few lovely little cafés and beachfront shops, including the East Beach Cafe, which is a unique-looking eatery with some fantastic views out to the sea.

When you get to the end of the path, there is farm directly in front of you and a path that leads of to the left. The entrance to the church is in between the two and hidden by shrubbery so easy to miss.
