Why visit Bognor Regis?
Days by the sea
Bognor Regis is packed with seaside amusements, whether it’s tucking into fish and chips on the pier, cycling along the prom or hiring out a paddleboard and going for a paddle. With choices like Bognor Regis East, Bognor Regis West, Aldwick and Climping on the menu, you might have a new beach for every day of your break. Plus, adults can party by the sea in the nightclub on the 1865 pier.
Look out for wildlife
Over at the far western side of Bognor Regis is Pagham, where the natural harbour is a something of a haven of birds who like to hang out around the reed beds, salt marshes and lagoons. Egrets and godwits are among the birds you might spot here, and the nearby beach is an excellent sunset location for those who aren't into their birdwatching.
Relax at Hotham Park
With 10 acres to its name, Hotham Park is packed to the brim with family-friendly stuff to do. Have a friendly game of miniature golf on the 18-hole course, take a peaceful paddle on the boating lake or tuck into tasty local fodder with a picnic on the green. There’s a miniature railway for those who’d like to rest their feet and take in the scenery.

Catch a market day
Bognor Regis may be well known for its seaside amusements, but it’s a market town at heart. The general market takes place on Tuesdays and Saturdays on London Road, and it’s all open-air.
Try an escape room
Part of your Bognor Regis escape might include a real break-out. There are a couple of escape room venues in the town, which will put you on the clock as you try to mastermind your way out of a room packed with puzzles.
Explore the foodie scene
Aside from classic fish and chips, Bognor Regis has much more to offer in the way of tasty food. There are dainty tea rooms, ice cream parlours, delis, traditional British pubs and plenty more venues for foodies to get stuck into.
Here’s how
Soaking up Bognor Regis’ atmosphere is nicely done from a campsite, whether you’re adding fresh air and firepits into the mix or tucking into your fish and chips with views of the sea, farmlands or woods.
Traditional tent pitches make a great way to explore Bognor Regis on a budget, but you can also up the luxury factor by using Pitchup's filters to seek out added extras like an indoor swimming pool.
