Nestled on the West Sussex coast between Littlehampton and Worthing, Rustington is a substantial village that manages to retain a distinct sense of community despite its size. It sits on the flat coastal plain, bounded by the English Channel to the south and the Brighton-to-Portsmouth rail line to the north, with the Angmering station providing the main link for commuters. Unlike many seaside settlements that rely on a seasonal promenade, Rustington’s heart is its pedestrianised shopping centre, which serves as a practical hub for the surrounding residential streets. This area was largely agricultural until the early 20th century, and a few flint-walled cottages and the 12th-century St Peter and St Paul’s Church still stand as reminders of its rural past. Today, the village is characterised by its quiet, well-maintained avenues and a shingle beach that remains peaceful even in midsummer, offering a more understated alternative to its busier neighbours.
