It was quite clean and nice....it was packed with decent amount of people but not crowded. Got a paid car parking or if you ready to walk for 10 mins there are few street parking. But got very small toilets and no shower room..and no food option other than a ice cream van .so it would be better if there are at least very few shower room, maintaing toilets and one or two food / cafe option. Nice to drive through the island

Look out for the pebbles on the railway track with my poem that I wrote There once a seashell and a pebble on a beach. Minding their own business, not looking to teach. Each so very different, yet on that same beach. A friendship occurred when they started to reach. Reach for each other, right there on that beach. Teaching each other it's never too far to reach. Screeching "it's amazing", a pebble and a shell can make you complete. If you find it...take a photo and message me Dan The Garden Alchemist Ltd Camberley. Its just by the photo I posted x

Lovely spot on Hayling Island with easy access to the beach and seafront walks. Peaceful, clean, and ideal for relaxing, dog walking, or water sports. Beautiful views, especially at sunset. Quiet residential feel but still within reach of local amenities and Havant. Can be windy at times, but that’s part of the coastal charm. Overall, a great place to visit or live if you enjoy the sea and a slower pace of life.

Visited this lovely beach on the southern tip of UK. The beach is bit rocky. Not ideally suited to venture in the water. Lots of places to set your grilling equipment and enjoy lovely grilled food with the waves.
