About

Marsh Barn & Widewater is a distinct coastal area defined by its lagoons and low-lying fields. The landscape is largely open, with the Adur River to the east and shingle beach to the south. The Widewater Lagoon, a saline lake separated from the sea, is a central feature. This creates a specific habitat that contrasts with the more developed areas nearby.

The environment is managed for nature, with paths running along the lagoon's edge and across the marsh. The area's character is shaped by water, sky, and the long, straight line of the coast road. It is a place for quiet recreation, such as walking and birdwatching, away from the main seafront attractions.
