An awesome beach where you can see the remains of a pre historic forest in low tide. Rock pools abound at Pett Level where the remnants of a prehistoric forest can still be seen today. It resembles wet putty!
On a very low tide you can walk all the way around to Fairlight Cove, ( be warned, it's a nudest beach) but you need to check the tides.
Winchelsea is also an amazing beach to chill and to spy the resident seal.
