Camber Sands
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Camber Sands is an important seaside resort in Camber (Near Rye), East Sussex. It is located on the estuary of the River Rother at Rye Bay, and is a popular seaside destination due to the presence of two nearby holiday parks; there are also caravan sites here. The largest of these being the Pontins "Camber Sands" park, the other being one operated by Park Resorts (which is directly opposite the beach). The Pontins park is newer, while the Park Resorts park has undergone some redevelopment, with the entrance being moved entirely.

[edit] Dunes
Camber Sands is also of scientific interest and nature conservation due to it being the site of a large dune system, the only existing system in East Sussex[1].
[edit] Sporting Activities
Due to its large size and favourable wind conditions, the beach has become a popular kitesports location. Kitesurfing, kiteboarding and kite buggying are all popular sports on the beach. However, launching of kites is only allowed in the designated area at the eastern end of the beach near the Jury's Gap car park[2].
