Sports on Hayling Island
Windsurfing
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.
With its safe open spaces set surrounded by plenty of fresh air and sheltered waters, Hayling Island has much to offer those that enjoy sports of all kinds. 
Sheltered by the Isle of Wight, the waters of the Solent offer perfect conditions to those who enjoy sailing, windsurfing, power boating, jet skiing, kitesurfing and other water sports. It should then come as little surprise that windsurfing was invented on Hayling Island and the Island has since become an international venue for sailing.
Hayling also caters well for those who enjoy their sports a little drier. Hayling Island's Seacourt is the only club in the country offering all five racket sports. For those wanting to take in our famous sea air outdoor sports as diverse as bowls and skateboarding are also catered for.

Many popular walks exist both on the Island and around the shorelines of nearby Langstone and Chichester harbour. Ideal for birdwatching.
The Hayling Billy Leisure Trail Once the old railway line between Havant and Hayling Island, this coastal leisure trail is now used by walkers, cyclists and horse riders alike.
Places of interest to visit in the area
Portsmouth Historic Dockyard where HMS Victory, the Mary Rose and HMS Warrior can be viewed are only a ferry and bus ride away.
Portsmouth is Britain's only island city and home to the British Royal Navy for more than 500 years. The mix of historic ships, castles, forts, museums and narrow side streets recall a medieval community huddled within the town walls.
The cathedral town of Chichester; Fishbourne Roman Palace and the picturesque fishing villages of Emsworth and Bosham are within easy reach.
