Hayling Island

Hayling, Havant and Emsworth are a hat-trick of Hampshire delights. They all offer relaxing, traditional breaks. There are beach huts and beach barbecues, welcoming inns serving up high quality food in pretty villages, lovely little quaysides full of boats and photographic panoramas across the early evening water. Emsworth is a picturesque delight, with old streets of Georgian houses leading to the waterfront. There is a working wooden boat yard at Dolphin Quay, a busy harbour and lots of little specialist shops, as well as fantastic restaurants, pubs and cafes. Hayling Island offers outstanding Blue Flag award beaches in a natural environment, preserved because of its exceptional flora and fauna. It is a truly delightful place to relax and escape the hustle and bustle of the south of England. This is a windsurfers and sailors paradise and the seascape is interesting as the sails flip and change direction in the breeze. Truly a destination for world class sailing. Staunton Country Park is a gem just outside of Havant, with amazing gardens, a tropical glass house and an Amazonian water lily. Fun for all the family can be found on the ornamental farm with the friendly farmyard animals.
