Sheltered by Fairlight Cliffs, Pett Level Beach in Sussex is a favourite spot for quiet family adventures, says Tanya Jackson
-
The strip of coastline that stretches from Hastings to Dungeness has a simple and desolate beauty, composed of shifting shingle beaches battered by strong winds. But at its southern tip, just east of Fairlight Cove, lies one of Sussex's most prized treasures: Pett Level Beach, a spot shielded by cliffs and filled with natural wonders.
As the tide moves out, pebbles give way to sand, rocks and a petrified sunken forest that emerges through the clay and dates back to 5200 BCE. In contrast to the noisy, busy Camber Sands and the featureless Winchelsea Beach, Pett Level is a quiet heaven.
