About

The Witterings ward encompasses the coastal settlements of East and West Wittering along the Manhood Peninsula. Its landscape is defined by extensive intertidal flats and salt marshes, with a low-lying profile shaped by coastal processes. The area includes a mix of residential housing, local shops, and services catering to both permanent residents and seasonal visitors. The shoreline faces the eastern Solent, with views across to the Isle of Wight.

A significant feature is the large, sandy beach at West Wittering, backed by dunes and the East Head spit. This area is managed for its natural habitats and recreational use. The ward contains agricultural land and sailing clubs, with a network of footpaths crossing the flat terrain. Chichester Harbour, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, forms its northern boundary, influencing local conservation efforts.
