No official Wealden statement on metal detecting at Pevensey Bay was found. The beach lies partly within the Beachy Head East Marine Conservation Zone (per council news), which is not itself a detecting ban.
We couldn't find a published rule. Foreshore owned by the Crown Estate follows the Crown Estate's terms; for council-owned beaches, ask the council before you dig. We emailed them on 9 Nov 2026 and will update this page if they reply.
