The source warns that Beachy Head can be a long walk and that cliff marks can be dangerous, so take care with access and the tide. Areas that give access to deep water offer good lure fishing and spinning for bass, with mackerel also taken. The point known as The Ledge is the best for bass. The source gives no seasons here, so the listing is set to all year. The map pin is on the headland.

Sea fishing needs no rod licence anywhere in the UK - shore, boat or wreck marks are all licence-free.
