Marine Drive West

Street guide, Bognor Regis

Marine Drive West runs along the seafront in Aldwick, to the west of the main Bognor Regis Esplanade. The road provides access to the quieter, more residential stretch of coastline west of the town centre. Properties along Marine Drive West are among the most sought-after in the area, with direct or close views of the sea. The beach at Aldwick is shingle, quieter than the main Bognor beach, and popular with local residents who prefer a less busy stretch of coast. The road is flanked by a mix of substantial detached houses and some flatted developments, most dating from the inter-war and post-war periods. Beach huts line sections of the shore, and the overall character is one of a residential seaside neighbourhood rather than a resort seafront. Marine Drive West connects to the coastal path network and provides walking access towards Pagham Harbour nature reserve to the west.
