Hayling Island

Island community with sandy beaches, windsurfing heritage, and harbour-side nature

Hayling Island is connected to the mainland by a road bridge and sits between Langstone Harbour and Chichester Harbour. The island is famous as the birthplace of modern windsurfing and has a wide sandy beach on its southern shore. The harbour-side areas support important bird populations, and the island has a distinct community identity despite being within the Havant borough. For Hayling Island news, visit haylingisland.news.
