RotherDistrict Council Welcome to camber

Camber Camber is home to the only sand dune system in East Sussex, stretching for miles with unspoilt views of the sand and sea. The dunes are formed from the sand which is blown inland building up around the plants and fences. Marram grass seen on much of the dunes helps to keep the sand in place with its deep root system.Camber village, located directly behind the beach, started to grow just after the First World War when the increasing popularity of the car gave people the opportunity to discover remote coasts.

Walking and CyClingThere are numerous footpaths and rights of way in and around Camber, identified on the map below. Camber is 3.5 miles from Rye and can be accessed via an informal footpath along the dunes and up along the harbour arm, or via the shared cycle path (National Cycle Route 2) which follows the main road. The majority of the shared cycle path linking Rye to Camber is off road so great for families. Cycle parking is available in Western car park, Camber Central car park and Johnson’s Field, identified on the map below.

WildlifeOver 250 different species of plants and animals can be found on the dunes. Look out for large flocks of feeding waders at low tide, lizards, flowering plants and moths such as the Six-spot Burnet Moth. Listen out for the long tuneful song of the Skylark flying high above the dunes. Please stay on the marked paths over the dunes as trampling can damage these rare plants and animals. When paddling it is advised to always wear shoes as the Weever Fish buries itself in the sand and has a ridge of sharp spikes across its back. The spikes can sting you, so if you tread on one you should seek first aid.

beaCh Safe Please be aware of your safety on the beach. Carefully read the signs and flags on the beach. Red flag = no bathing advised Orange flag = off shore winds so no inflatables. For more information please visit the coastal officer at Central car park.
