Hayling Island may only be a tiny place, but it has a wondeful charm to offer you
We have a wonderful array of plants and animals here, due to the unique changes that have happened to our island.
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.
You may only think that Hayling has a beach and not much else, but you would be wrong! There's loads to do here!!
Ride the Light Railway - The narrow gage Hayling railway runs along the beach seafront from Eastoke corner to Beachlands. The train departs every 45 minutes, starting at 11am each morning offering a 10 minute ride along the central seafront area of Hayling
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.
