About

South Hayling occupies the southernmost portion of Hayling Island, characterised by its coastal geography and residential settlements. The area is defined by the sweeping curve of Eastoke Peninsula, with residential streets leading directly to the shingle beach. Much of the housing consists of bungalows and detached homes, reflecting its development as a holiday and retirement destination. The landscape is largely flat, shaped by the coastal environment.

A notable feature is the Hayling Island Seaside Railway, a narrow-gauge heritage line that runs along the beachfront. The area includes the popular Beachlands zone with its traditional amusement arcades and cafes. Coastal paths provide access to the extensive mudflats and salt marshes of the Langstone Harbour boundary. The local economy is oriented towards seasonal tourism and services for the resident community.
