Travel by Train to Camber Sands

With 2 ½ miles of white sand beaches and consistent breeze, the East Sussex resort of Camber Sands on the South Coast of England offers a refreshing escape for windsurfers, kite surfers, or simply walkers holed up in the capital. Train services from London are regular and relatively quick, meaning city dwellers can swap the smoke for windswept dunes in just a couple of hours.

Fast Service
Camber Sands does not have its own station, but Rye is just three miles away. Trains leave regularly from several London stations, including Charing Cross, Victoria and St. Pancras, for a fast service direct to Ashford, a busy station where high speed trains head beneath the English Channel toward France. From Ashford, change trains for a short ride on the Southern Trains regional service which connects to Rye before continuing along the coast to Brighton, for a total journey time of one hour, 15 minutes. A short 20-minute ride on the 101 bus connects to Camber Sands.

Stopping Service
A slower stopping service, mainly for commuters, runs on Southeastern Trains from London Charing Cross to West St. Leonards, taking approximately an hour and a half, followed by another stopping service through Hastings to Winchelsea. The same 101 bus service to Camber Sands leaves from Winchelsea New Inn, calling at Camber Sands Holiday Park.
