Hayling Island – the Charm of the Southerly English Seashore

Hayling Island is to be noticed on the exquisite southern coast of England on the rural shores between the well known cities of Chichester and Portsmouth.

Hayling Island offers good deal of chances to make the most of your leisure time having pubs, restaurants, amusements, bingo, a funfair and snooker clubs as well as offering many sporting activities such as swimming, sailing, windsurfing, golf, squash, tennis, sea fishing, riding and walking.

Hayling Island is a seaside resort on the South coast of England.

Salt production was an industry on the island from the 11th century (the Domesday Book recorded a saltpan on the island for this purpose) until the late 19th century. At the northwest corner of the island lies the Hayling Oysterbeds Local Nature Reserve.

A small passenger ferry connects Hayling Island to the neighbouring island of Portsea where the city of Portsmouth is located.

All courses are taken on Kite beach, Hayling Island which is one of the most standard and optimum locations in the UK to learn and practice the sport.

In the 1830s a guide to Hayling said ’such is the health of this sweet island that although a medical man resides here, his services are seldom in request’.

Hayling Island had a great sandy beach until recent years when it was manually filled with stones to stop it from washing away.

When you decide to travel to Hayling island then a good place to halt would be Cockle Warren Cottage Hotel – it is exactly on the sea front and you will be wrapt in the magic spell of the cottage with the warm sea snap tapping on your chamber windowpane.
