Shoreham Beach is a 26.2-hectare (65-acre) Local Nature Reserve in Shoreham-by-Sea in West Sussex.
[1][2] The beach has vegetated shingle, which is an internationally rare habitat, with flora including yellow horned poppy, sea kale and curled dock.
However, this included a 20-metre gap due to a dispute between the council and a property fronting the beach.
[3] In 2014, the gap was filled in, resulting in the completion of the first phase of the boardwalk.
[4] By 2018 the third phase of development was completed, this time extending the footpath to Forthaven.
