Hayling Island combines all the attractions of a traditional seaside holiday with excellent sporting and leisure facilities.
The island’s miles of unspoilt coastline and countryside also offer a haven of peace and tranquillity, where visitors can walk, cycle or relax.
It is said that windsurfing was invented on Hayling Island - even if this isn’t strictly true, it illustrates how wondeful Hayling Island is for water sports.
One of the very few British beaches (in fact it may be the only one) to have received not one but two European Blue Flag awards for its beaches as well as countless Tidy Britain Seaside Awards, shows you what type of values are held by the residents and visitors here.
You will always find somewhere on the beach to claim as your own for a few hours. There you will be able to play beach games, gaze over to the Isle of Wight or paddle in the sea.
For many British people, Hayling Island is known for its warm hospitality and glorious beaches. It also has an amusement park, which holds many special childhood memories for a great many people.
Nearby Langstone Harbour, situated between Portsmouth and Chichester harbour and linked to the mainland by both road bridge and ferry, Hayling has many hotels, B&Bs, campsites and self catering accommodation and also has holiday centres offering activity breaks for adults. One of the best Hayling Hotels is Cockle Warren Cottage Hotel.
The island’s proximity to Portsmouth, Chichester and Emsworth makes it an ideal base for touring, with attractions such as Southsea Castle and Staunton Country Park nearby.
