About This Place

The Hayling Island seafront is primarily shingle, with sand at low tide. Windsurfing was invented here and West Hayling is the island’s designated windsurfing area as well as being home to the popular West Beach, which is sheltered by the West Winner sand bank, a spit that extends a mile out to sea and can be explored on foot at low tide. -->

💡 Our Take

Looking for a fantastic dog-friendly beach in Hampshire? Head to West Hayling Beach on Hayling Island! This beach is a brilliant choice because dogs are welcome year-round, meaning summer fun for all! The sand is perfect for paw prints and beach zoomies. Parking is available nearby, just a short walk to the beach. While there aren't facilities directly on the beach, you’ll find some a short drive away in the town. Be mindful of currents when swimming, especially with excitable pups. West Hayling is ideal for active dogs who love to run and play, but may not be suitable for anxious dogs unless carefully introduced.
