Littlehampton - Littlehampton Port

Littlehampton Port

Littlehampton's port is based around the River Arun and a small stretch of sea 5 miles out to sea and 6 miles wide which is locally known as the "Littlehampton Channel" . Littlehampton started as a fishing port but now is a thriving port for thousands of leisure craft which visit from all over the UK and Europe. In 2009, use of leisure craft at Littlehampton rose to the extent that at least 200 more moorings were required. Littlehampton is also a commercial port, handling around 50-60 ships a year from Ireland, Holland, Germany, Belgium and France with cargo including marine aggregates, stone, marble chippings and timber.
