About

Selsey South ward covers the southern portion of the Selsey peninsula, a coastal area projecting into the English Channel. The landscape is predominantly residential, with a mix of housing estates and older properties. The coastline here is defined by a long shingle beach, with groynes and sea defences prominent along the shore. The area is low-lying, with much of it close to sea level, and it is flanked by the waters of Bracklesham Bay to the west.

The community is centred around the high street and its independent shops, serving the local population. A notable feature is the mix of retired residents and working families, with tourism playing a seasonal role. The Bill, a headland at the peninsula's tip, is a significant local landmark and a focus for coastal walks. The area's geography makes it particularly exposed to coastal weather and erosion, which shapes daily life and long-term planning.
