Hayling Island lies just off the south coast of England, and within Hampshire's Havant borough. This picturesque part of England effortlessly blends classic seaside charm with modern activities. Its unspoilt coastline and countryside offer a much needed retreat for nature lovers seeking the beauty of the British outdoors. Renowned for its pristine beaches, Hayling Island holds both the prestigious European Blue Flag and Tidy Britain Seaside Award, with excellent water quality and safety standards. While the island is famed for its seaside attractions like Funland amusement park and holiday centres, it also has a rich military history, with a World War II Heritage Trail for history enthusiasts to explore. Hayling Island is situated near Portsmouth, Chichester, and Emsworth, and so is a great base for exploring nearby attractions such as Southsea Castle and Staunton Country Park. Plus, with excellent connections to the rest of the country, it's easy to embark on further adventures from this charming island.
