About

South Bersted is a built-up neighbourhood within the Arun district, forming part of the Bognor Regis urban area. The area is primarily residential, with a mix of housing estates and small local shopping parades that serve everyday needs. Community facilities include a recreation ground, play areas and a community hall that host local clubs and events. South Bersted Church of England Primary School sits at the heart of the neighbourhood and provides a focal point for families and after-school activities, with an adjacent playing field used for pupil sport and local matches.

Transport links are focused on local bus services that connect the neighbourhood to Bognor Regis town centre and the wider Arun district, making shops, health services and rail connections reasonably accessible. Street patterns and property boundaries reflect gradual suburban growth that absorbed an earlier village core into the town. The area lies on the low coastal plain of West Sussex, so open farmland and protected coastal habitats are still a short distance away, offering routes for local walks and nature observation.
