Bognor Regis Aldwick Beach is a resort beach located on the south coast of England, in West Sussex, adjacent to the town of Bognor Regis. .

The beach at Bognor Regis Aldwick is predominantly shingle, giving way to sand at low tide. This beach offers relatively safe bathing and well-managed facilities for various beach users. A promenade runs along much of the beach, and there is a pier located to the east.

Aldwick Beach is situated just to the west of Bognor Regis town centre. The beach is a long, mostly shingle stretch that reveals patches of sand and rock pools at low tide. It is considerably quieter than central Bognor Regis, with a backdrop of gardens and residential streets. The beach extends from Pagham in the west to Bognor Pier in the east, providing a wide, open feel even on busier days.

Towards the eastern end of the beach, a promenade lined with beach huts and benches offers scenic views, while Marine Park Gardens lie beyond. At low tide, the exposed sand provides ample space for activities such as shell collecting and searching for crabs, especially around the rock groynes. Swimming is possible when the sea is calm, although there are no lifeguards on duty and water quality can be variable. The beach has nearby parking facilities, and public toilets are available close to Marine Drive West. It is also a short, level walk from Bognor Regis town centre.

Aldwick Beach has a laid-back, genteel atmosphere, making it an ideal location for relaxation, walking, and taking in the sea air. The serene environment and sound of shingle as the tide rolls in contribute to its peaceful ambiance. This beach offers a peaceful alternative to the busier nearby beaches, making it suitable for those seeking a quiet seaside retreat.

Dogs are allowed on Aldwick Beach all year round, providing a convenient option for pet owners. This policy contrasts with neighbouring Bognor Regis beach, which has summer restrictions on dogs.
