About

Selsey sits on the Manhood Peninsula at the southern tip of Chichester District, projecting into the English Channel. The settlement clusters along a shingle and sand shoreline, with the headland known as Selsey Bill marking the promontory. Offshore sandbanks and shifting channels shape tides and navigation, and a long-established lifeboat station serves local waters. Small fishing boats still launch from beach slipways and the sea has driven local livelihoods for generations.
The town functions as a local centre for nearby villages, with a seafront road, civic amenities and shops focused on maritime trade and tourism. Chichester Harbour lies to the north-east and provides sheltered moorings and sailing access; to the south the open channel supports day trips and angling. Birdlife uses the mudflats and lagoons and local markets sell fish landed that morning. Maps and marine charts use the Bill as a fixed reference point for navigation along this stretch of coast.
