Reasons to Visit Hayling Island

By Jade McCarthy

If you don't want hustle and bustle for your holiday, but prefer a quiet, delightful little holiday town atmosphere, then visit Hayling Island!

Hayling Island has a regular station from the university of Portsmouth. Their students come to Hayling to explore the amazing biodiversity that Hayling offers.

Hayling Island also has over 3 miles of beaches right on the doorstep of the Solent as well as the Harbours of Langstone and Chichester. With its safe open spaces, fresh air and sheltered waters, Hayling Island has much to offer those that enjoy sports of all kinds, whether on land or at sea.

Whilst Hayling Island is best known for its miles of undeveloped coastline, there is more to do on Hayling than simply walking on the beach.

Try your hand at golf - Hayling has two "pay and play" golf courses: One on the seafront and one at the edge of Tournerbury woods. Both offer a challenging game mixed with great scenery.

Walk or cycle the Hayling Billy coastal path - The Hayling coastal path runs most of the length of Hayling along the original route of the "Hayling Billy" train line. The 4 mile long path hugs the western coast of the island, offering a peaceful alternative route between West Town at the southern end and Langstone Bridge at the northern end. The path itself has two tracks, offering different surfaces for horse riders on one side and pedestrians and cyclists on the other.

Take a wildlife walk - Throughout the year, Hayling's wildlife can be enjoyed thanks to our mild maritime climate which allows many different species of wild flowers to flourish, some unique to coastal landscapes.
