Hampshire's Best Beaches

The Hampshire Coast is one of rugged cliffs and shingle shores. A place to witness awe-inspiring panoramas, experience world-class watersports and enjoy heaps of seaside charm.

Featuring 5 miles of award-winning coastline, Hayling Island is the go-to destination for a beach adventure. A favourite with families, it boasts vintage attractions like an amusement park, a light railway and all kinds of seaside eateries. Plus, as the birthplace of windsurfing, it’s a brilliant place to learn watersports – whether that’s kayaking, paddle boarding or kitesurfing!

Resting on the banks of the Solent, many of Hampshire’s beaches enjoy privileged views of the Isle of Wight. Lay back on Lee-On-Solent, Stokes Bay or Hill Head Beach and admire impressive vistas as the yachts, fishing boats and windsurfers sail by.

While Hampshire isn’t known for its vast stretches of sands, West Wittering Beach in nearby Chichester is; visit for endless bucket and spade action.
