Selsey East Beach
About Selsey East Beach
A shallow coastal dive site suitable for snorkelling, freediving, and scuba. It can be used as a starting point for a drift dive along the beach toward the lifeboat station. Around high water, the ebb current can become quite strong, and there is boat traffic near a wooden ramp, so carrying and deploying a surface marker buoy is important.
