Learn about Hayling
May 8th, 2009
If you want a brilliant combination of British Seaside Charm and the Adrenaline Fixes of some water sports, you should really consider going to Hayling Island.
The island’s miles of unspoilt coastline and countryside also offer a haven of peace and tranquillity, where visitors can walk, cycle or relax.
It is said that windsurfing was invented on Hayling – even if this isn’t strictly true, it illustrates how wondeful Hayling is for water sports.
One of the very few British beaches (in fact it may be the only one) to have received not one but two European Blue Flag awards for its beaches as well as countless Tidy Britain Seaside Awards, shows you what type of values are held by the residents and visitors here.
The 5 miles of beaches will give you plenty of places to chill out, dip in the sea, enjoy a barbeque or just sunbathe.
Hayling has a famous amusement park and is known as a wonderful holiday centre. It has built many memories for countless people over the years.
There are a range of places to stay around Hayling Island, which will suit all budgets. From the caravan parks dotted around the place to all the little bed and breakfast lodgings as well as some of the finer hotels. One of the best Hayling Island Bed and breakfast is Cockle Warren Cottage Hotel.
The island’s proximity to Portsmouth, Chichester and Emsworth makes it an ideal base for touring, with attractions such as Southsea Castle and Staunton Country Park nearby.
