This end of Hayling Island is less visited than other beaches so it makes a quieter place for a walk
When the tide is out, this quiet, dog friendly corner of Hayling Island provides a sandy beach and sand dunes. A great place for a family stroll by the sea.
The Route
This is a walk that does not need much direction. From the car park, you can walk along the quiet beach as far as you like. You can vary the walk by returning via the path at the top of the beach where you will find sand dunes. When the tide is out, there is a decent amount of sand here, so maybe best to time your walk with low tide.
Did you know?
It is called Ferry Point for a good reason - if you wish, you can catch the ferry from here across Langstone Harbour over to Eastney Point in Portsmouth.
