Wide sandy beach facing the Solent — famous for watersports, kitesurfing, and the birthplace of windsurfing.

Traditional seaside funfair and beach on the island's eastern shore — a holiday favourite since the 1950s.

The main village centre for South Hayling — shops, restaurants, the post office, and the Mengham Rythe tidal creek.

Quiet, rural northern Hayling with views over Langstone Harbour SSSI — great for birdwatching, walking, and a pint at the waterside.

Picturesque north-east Hayling on Chichester Harbour — working marina, watersports schools, and stunning harbour views.
