Pagham is a coastal village and civil parish in the Arun district of West Sussex, England, with a population of around 5,500.

[edit] Geography
The village comprises three main areas:
- Pagham Beach, coastal area, developed in the early 20th Century,
- Pagham, the original 13th Century village
- Nyetimber, originally a separate village but has now been subsumed as part of a Local Authority rationalisation and the growth of the area.
[edit] Buildings and facilities
Many of the Original Pagham Beach dwellings are bungalows constructed from old railway carriages, although many have now been rebuilt using more modern construction methods.
The Church of St. Thomas a'Becket is considered[by whom?] to be one of the finest of its type[citation needed] in England.
Pagham is home to ale and beer pubs 'The Lamb', 'The Lion' and 'The Bear' as well as the popular 'Inglenook Hotel' which is a favourite stop off point for many during visits to events at Goodwood Circuit and races.
[edit] Landmarks
The Site of Special Scientific Interest known as Pagham Harbour falls partly within the parish.[2] The harbour and surrounding land is of national importance for both flora and fauna. The shingle spit is of geological interest.
A Phoenix type Mulberry Harbour is visible in the bay at low tides.
