“I’d watched an old BFI Pathe News Reel about the Beach Warden and shell artist of Camber Sands and came to see if any of the shell houses he decorated were still around – and found one for sale! Two of of the long garden walls still have his shell art running along them.” Owner, James

The artistry that runs through the place; from shell art to framed Rye Society of Artists annual show posters, and lovely seashell soaps by Annings of Dorset (a gift for Kip guests).
