Hayling Island Beach

Hayling Island Beach

Part of the beach, at west Beachlands, boasts the International Blue Flag, and the Solent Water Quality Award in recognition of its high standards of beach and foreshore management and good water quality.

Beachlands itself is over 100 acres of land between Sea Front (road) and the shore. Its grassy dunes, gorse, wild flowers and bird life are classified as a Site of Special Scientific Interest, and provide delightful picnic spots, and its unspoilt nature is what sets it aside from many other, larger, resorts. You've also got the West Winner Way Walk to try out which is exposed at low tide.

Sailing and boardsailing are 2 activities for which the island is internationally renowned, conditions being perfect for both sports. At high tide the waters can get deep quickly with the shelving of the beaches, but at low tides the waters are usually shallow, especially at West beach, which is excellent for swimming, there is a coast guard all year round.

Admission:

Opening Times: 

Coast guard all year round.

Dogs not permitted on West Beach from Good Friday to October.
