Seaside Retreat

About this property

Seaside Retreat is a single-storey caravan situated in the coastal town of Selsey, West Sussex, offering an appealing base for families and groups looking to enjoy seaside days and explore the Manhood Peninsula. Located on the former “Seal Island”, this well‑placed holiday home allows guests to make the most of one of Sussex’s best beaches and a coastline that can be enjoyed throughout the year. Inside, the caravan features a bright open-plan living space, combining the kitchen, dining area, and sitting area, creating a sociable hub for spending time together after a day out. The kitchen is suitably equipped for preparing family meals, while the sitting area provides a relaxed place to unwind in front of the TV.

There is one double bedroom and two twin bedrooms, each offering a practical and welcoming place to rest at the end of the day. These are served by a shower room with a walk-in shower, basin, and WC, alongside a separate cloakroom with basin and WC, adding extra convenience for larger groups. Outside, off-road parking is available, making it easy to explore the surrounding area. A shop, pub, and the beach are all close by, allowing guests to enjoy everything Selsey has to offer without travelling far. Selsey is rich in character and history, once known for smugglers and fishermen, and today offering sandy beaches, traditional cottages, cafés, and seafood restaurants serving the local Selsey crab. The area is also known for its dark skies, perfect for stargazing. A short drive away, guests can explore historic Chichester with its cathedral, harbour, shops, and theatre, while Goodwood offers a packed calendar of racing events. Other nearby highlights include Fishbourne Palace, Pagham Harbour, and opportunities for activities such as scuba diving and horse riding. Seaside Retreat offers a well-located base in West Sussex, ideal for those seeking a seaside break with a wide range of attractions within easy reach.

Once an island (Selsey means ‘Seal Island’), the town stands at the tip of the Manhood Peninsula and Selsey Bill, the southernmost tip of West Sussex. The beach at Selsey is one of the best in Sussex and makes for a perfect family day out. Whether sailing, swimming, beachcombing or just paddling in the sea, this lovely coastline can be enjoyed all year round. Perhaps fishing for the famous Selsey crabs takes your fancy, or there are plenty of restaurants serving this local delicacy in the town. Selsey has a full and varied past, once a haven for smugglers and vagabonds, this part of the coast is now a quaint town with plenty of fisherman's cottages, cafes and sandy beaches. Another reason for holidaying in Selsey is the dark sky; as most of the street lights are turned off at midnight, you will see the sky light up with millions of stars, which is why the famous astrologer Patrick Moore made his home in Selsey. Only a short drive from Selsey and you can be walking the lanes of historic Chichester with its harbour, where you can browse around local shops, or enjoy afternoon tea after a trip to the cathedral, before an evening at the theatre. If racing is more your style then make for Goodwood, with three big events each year, and dozens in between. Also within reach are Fishbourne Palace and Pagham harbour, and scuba diving and horse riding can be enjoyed in the area. Whether you are looking for a quiet, relaxing break or a holiday full of adventure, Selsey is an excellent destination.
