Chichester Marina is set in beautiful surroundings, at the eastern end of Chichester Harbour. A designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the surrounding region offers an interesting mix of countryside, coast and city. The harbour and the marina within it are perfect for nature and bird watching, walking in the countryside, or just soaking up the ambiance. Meanwhile, the onsite Boathouse Café and Chichester Yacht Club offer a range of meals and events.
