Outside the Crown and Anchor pud at the end of Dell Quay Road. If coming from Portsmouth, take the second roundabout off the A27 Chichester by-pass, and turn right (south) onto the A286. After almost exactly 1 mile, turn right into Dell Quay Road until reaching the shore opposite the Crown and Anchor pub. You can't park in the pub car park itself, but the over flow parking is on the north side of Dell Quay Road near the pub.
