At high tide it is composed of shingle, which is normal on this stretch of coastline; whilst at low tide an expanse of mud and sand is revealed. Many species of birds frequent the sands and the surrounding marshland of Rye Harbour Nature Reserve.[1][2]
The village has facilities including: a church, Co-op store, two pubs, and a post office. There are two large holiday sites – Rye Bay and Winchelsea Sands Caravan Parks.
