By Train
Head for Rye station — you will probably have to travel through Ashford or Hastings, but it is a very easy journey through the Sussex countryside. From London it is around 1 to 1.15 hours, and 1 hour from Brighton.
You can catch a bus (number 100 or 101 'The Wave' to Folkestone or Dover) which takes about 10 minutes to Camber, or get a taxi from outside the station. If you ask the bus driver they will drop you at our door; if not, the bus stop is nearby. Alternatively, alight at the last stop in Camber (Camber Sands Holiday Park) and walk 300m along the promenade.
If you're feeling energetic you can hire a bicycle from Rye Hire, located 30 seconds from the station, and cycle to Camber. It takes approximately 30 minutes and is a great warm up!

London Kitesurfers Lift Share
The London Kitesurfers Facebook and WhatsApp groups are very useful for organising lifts to the beach, as many people come kitesurfing here from London. Find us on Instagram at @kitesurfcentre.
