Hayling Island is a small Island thats tied with the Mainland merely by a bridge on the Solent coast.

This stunning Island is home to a mere 16,900 people who savor the miles of shorelines edging against the Solent. The traditional sea side feel is a faultless backdrop for Sailing, Swimming, kite surfing and Wind Surfing.

Boasting two churches St Peters built in 1140 and St Marys which dates back to the 13th Century. A trip to the Life Boat Station and Museum situated along Sandy Point explains the bravery and history, whilst the panoramas across to the entrance of Chichester harbour might be savored and possibly captured..

Or if you fancy a round or 2 why not Tee up at the Hayling Golf Club, founded in 1865, the 18 holes will trial any golfer, set in a awesome location looking out across the Solent towards the Isle Of Wight, complete with Club House and of course the 19th Hole.

Or perhaps the fascinating treasures on exhibit at the Royal Marines Museum won’t fail to impress, with their displays of Landing Craft, Uniforms, Silver and Manuscripts dating back centuries. Or be transmitted back in time with a call in to Southsea Castle built on the say so of Henry V111, now home to a fascinating Museum and to the fabulous Over Lord Tapestry which commemorates D Day
