Hayling Island beaches [Credit: Visit Hampshire] Situated between Portsmouth and Chichester, Hayling Island is popular because it offers all the attractions of a traditional seaside daytrip with excellent sporting and leisure facilities. It boasts five miles of unspoilt coastline for peaceful walks by the sea, but can also be enjoyed by those with a more active goal, with many opportunities for sailing and windsurfing. Originally dependent on fishing, farming and salt production, Hayling Island is now known for its Funland amusement park and holiday centres, which made the island a popular seaside resort from the 1930s onwards. It also features several momentos of wartime history for keen historians.
