Camber Sands is a beach at the village of Camber (near Rye), East Sussex, England. It is located east of the estuary of the River Rother at Rye Bay all the way to the East Sussex/Kent border.
Camber Sands is a site of scientific interest and nature conservation due its large dune system. This area is the only existing system in East Sussex. There is also several MOD bases and military units around the area and on the beach it is possible to hear military gunfire.
[edit] Shipwrecks
In the 19th Century many ships washed up in the area such as The City of Delhi, The S.S. Alton Towers, S.S.H.A.Brightman, Queen Victoria of Dublin and the Van Domien.

The beach has become a popular location for kitesurfing, kiteboarding and kite buggying due to its large size, compact sand and favourable wind conditions. Kite launches are only allowed in the designated area at the eastern end of the beach near the Jury's Gap car park.

Camber is a village and civil parish in the English county of East Sussex, three miles (4.8 km) south-east of Rye. The village is located behind the sand dunes that occupy the estuary of the River Rother, where the seaside settlement of Camber Sands is situated.
Camber came into being with the game of golf: it was originally a collection of fishermen's dwellings. By the early 1890s, visitors to Rye had begun to increase as tourism became more important. One result of this was the building, in 1894, of Rye Golf Links in the area of sand dunes which occupy the shores of Rye Bay. The Royal William Hotel opened that year, and gradually the new village expanded. The Rye and Camber Tramway, a tourist railway originally opened for the members of the golf links to carry their gear, was opened in 1895; it closed at the outbreak of World War II and never reopened.
Today the area is a well publicised seaside resort. Camber Sands Holiday Park is located here, as well as caravan sites, and there are many holiday cottages to rent
Camber Castle is located on the other side of the river.
Camber Castle is one of Henry VIII's Device Forts built to protect the huge Rye anchorage.
Between 1512 and 1514 Sir Edward Guldeford built a circular tower to defend the harbour. This tower was incorporated into a new fort which was built between 1539 and 1544. It was expanded to become a highly symmetrical artillery fort. The original tower was augmented with four outer towers linked by an octagonal wall concealing a covered passage. Finally, four large D-shaped bastions serving as gun platforms were placed in front of the earlier towers. As the shoreline receded south the height of the central tower was raised in order to maintain the range of the castle's cannon.
However by the end of the 16th century the silting of the Camber made the castle largely obsolete and in 1637 it was disbanded.
