Situated south of Havant in Hampshire between Portsmouth and Chichester Harbour and linked to the mainland by both road bridge and ferry, Hayling Island has always appealed to holiday makers and families and retains all the attractions of a traditional seaside resort.

The southern part of Hayling is the part of the island best known by holidaymakers, and is a combination of town and country with the settlements of West Town, Gable Head and Eastoke spreading to meet each other but with fields, farms, woods and the sea all within easy reach.

Being one of the sunniest places in the country and the only place in Britain to qualify for two European Blue Flag awards, Hayling Island makes an excellent summer holiday choice. The Island has also been awarded a Tidy Britain Seaside Award for their water quality, safety and cleanliness.

For the energetic, there are plenty of activities to enjoy, including world class windsurfing and sailing. Beachlands itself is over 100 acres of land between Sea Front [road] and the shore. Its grassy dunes, gorse, wild flowers and bird life provide delightful picnic spots, and its unspoilt nature is what sets it aside from many other, larger, resorts. Beachlands and Funland on the seafront provide a whole host of family entertainment from rides, amusements, go karts and golf. The Hayling Seaside Railway is another popular attraction - a narrow gauge railway that offers a ten-minute train ride along the seafront.

And for the less energetic, who wish to escape the modern world, it is a truly delightful place, with lots to see and do but at a pace that is ideal to escape the hustle and bustle of modern living. The island has, over the years, become a haven for anyone seeking peace and relaxation.  If you're looking for a get-away-from-it-all break, Hayling Island is the perfect place for you. It is a stunning Island with unspoilt scenery, outstanding Blue Flag award beaches and a wealth of fascinating attractions. .
