Sandbar, Camber Sands

Welcome to Sandbar — your bright coastal cottage in Camber Sands

Tucked away in the ever-popular White Sand development, Sandbar is a bright, beautifully styled seaside cottage made for easy beach days, slow mornings and cosy evenings in.

Sleeping 4 across a calm double bedroom and a cheerful twin room, it’s a lovely choice for couples, small families or grandparents escaping to the coast with children in tow.

Downstairs, the open-plan living space is light, warm and relaxed, with a modern sage-grey kitchen, sunny bay-window dining nook and a cosy lounge arranged around the feature fireplace wall. It has that easy Camber feeling: sandy toes welcome, kettle never far away, and the dunes close enough for spontaneous “shall we just pop to the beach?” moments.

Historic Rye is just a short drive away too, with cobbled streets, independent shops, cafés, pubs and restaurants when you fancy a change of scene.
