Hayling is an island on the edge of the solent facing across to the Isle of Wight. It has the magnificant South Downs to the North with Chichester to the East, Portsmouth to the West and the Solent / English channel to the South. There are excellent road links fed from the M27, M3 and A3(M). The mainline railway station of Havant is just 20 minutes away
The southern part of Hayling is the part of the island best known by holidaymakers, and is a combination of town and country. Its main attraction for visitors is of course its wonderful beac, over four miles of it. Part of the beach, at West Beachlands, boasts two European Blue Flags, the Tidy Britain Group's Premier Resort Seaside Award and the Solent Water Quality Award in recognition of its high standards of beach and foreshore management and good water quality. Beachlands itself is over 100 acres of land between the Sea Front road and the shore.
