From Brighton follow signs for Brighton Marina, once on the cliff top don't turn right as signposted, keep going until the roundabout and do a u-turn, come back up the hill and pull in at the bus stop, you will then see the entrance to the steep cliff road, park at the bottom right next to the waves!

- Rocks
You'll find good waves here at mid tide only when there is strong to gale force SW or W wind. The marina wall provides complete protection from the wind giving reasonable lines of surf, but won't work in groundswells.
Atmosphere
It's interesting as howling winds don't suit most places, this spot loves them! It's the only place in the south east with enough power to warrent a shortboard. A few locals rip and spectators line the marina wall.

Best Spot in the uk - Hi
I'm organising a beach clean on the 28th Feb at 11am. The venue for the clean is going to be down by the hot pipe, meeting beside the car park by Carats Cafe at 11am.
It'll be great to get as many people along as possible, so please come along and spread the word.
Cheers
