Look & Sea Centre 61-63 Surrey St, Littlehampton BN17 5AW, UK

Local maritime history & the geography of the area can be explored at this education center.

The Centre was built in 2003 as part of the East Bank Regeneration Scheme and redeveloped in 2010 with Heritage Lottery funding. Here you can find out about the maritime history and geography of Littlehampton and the surrounding area in a fun environment that has lots to offer children of all ages, and plenty to keep adults interested too. Above the exhibition rises our two-storey viewing tower, giving a 360° view of a large area of West Sussex, including Arundel, Chichester and the South Downs. Both exhibition and viewing tower are included in our small entrance fee.

Below the Heritage Centre is the bright and comfortable Harbour Lights restaurant, where you can enjoy a coffee, a snack or a full meal. In good weather you can sit in our outside eating area and watch the swans swim lazily up the Arun as you dine on delicious dishes cooked by our own fine chefs.

And don’t forget to pop into our little gem of a shop, where you can purchase souvenirs and unique local crafts to take home with you. The shop also contains the official Littlehampton Visitor Information Centre and our knowledgeable staff will answer your queries and provide leaflets and brochures to help you enjoy your stay here in Littlehampton or venture further into West Sussex.
