West Wittering beach reopens with restrictions on visitor numbers – in pictures

Sun-seekers returned to West Wittering beach today for the first time since the lockdown was introduced in March.

Visitor numbers at the popular beach have been limited in order to ensure that social distancing guidelines can be adhered to. All visitors will have to pre-pay for parking using the app, JustPark, with the car park operating at just 20 per cent of its usual capacity. Anyone without a pre-booked parking ticket should not visit the beach, as there is no other parking in the village. Photos from the beach car park today show signs were in place to warn people that tickets were already fully booked for the day. Read more about how the new system works here.
