| About eight miles south of the city stretches the Manhood peninsula, of which Selsey is the principal town. It is of great historic interest, having been established as the landing place of the South Saxons in 477. Nowadays it is a favourite holiday town. |

A few miles along the coast is Bognor Regis, made famous by a convalescent visit by King George V in 1929, after which the town received its royal name. It now attracts a large numbr of tourists, and is also well known for Southcoast World (Butlins).
Between Selsey and Bognor lies Pagham and its harbour. A natural lagoon, it is a favourite breeding ground for many uncommon sea birds and wild fowl, and as such is a prime ornothologists' haunt.
