Hayling Island seafront is a popular area of Havant borough, enjoyed by visitors and residents alike.
The seafront includes more than three miles of beautiful beaches used for all kinds of activities – from kitesurfing and sailing to enjoying traditional fish and chips by the sea.
We have also compiled some beach safety information to make sure we can all enjoy the area.
Our ambition for Hayling Island
Havant Borough Council has revealed the Hayling Island draft ambition document as part of the Hayling Seafront strategy.
On 19 March 2024, we held a public engagement event on Hayling Island to share information about the council’s work there, but also to meet residents and give them the chance to ask questions and tell us their views.
