Hayling Island is an island off the south coast of England, in the borough of Havant in the county of Hampshire, near Portsmouth. Hayling Island is a true island, completely surrounded by sea. Looking at its north to south orientation, it is shaped like an inverted T, about 6.5 kilometres (4.0 mi) long and 6.5 kilometres (4.0 miles) wide. A road bridge connects its northern end to the mainland of England at Langstone. The Hayling Ferry is a small foot-passenger ferry connecting to the Eastney area of the city of Portsmouth on the neighbouring Portsea Island. To the west is Langstone Harbour and to the east is Chichester Harbour.
The natural beach at Hayling was predominantly sandy, but in recent years it has been mechanically topped with shingle dredged from the bed of the Solent in an effort to reduce beach erosion and reduce the potential to flood low-lying land. At low tide, the East Winner sandbank is visible, extending a mile out to sea. The coastline in this area has substantially changed since Roman times: it is believed much land has been lost from the coasts of Hayling and Selsey by erosion and subsequent flooding.
Hayling Island has a non-League football club, Hayling United F.C., which plays at Hayling Park. Although largely residential, Hayling is also a holiday, windsurfing and sailing centre, the site where windsurfing was invented. Until March 2015, Hayling Ferry linked Portsmouth and Hayling Island. The ferry was busy in summer in good weather, bringing tourists and cyclists to Hayling.
Terrier steam locomotives pulled carriages along the 5-mile (8 km) Hayling Billy Line from Havant Station on the mainland to a station which was located at the northern end of Staunton Avenue, passing through Langstone where there was a Halt. A tourist attraction — the East Hayling Light Railway — is a 2 ft (610 mm) gauge railway that runs for just over 1 mile (1.6 km) from Beachlands Station to Eastoke Corner with aspirations to extend the route to Ferry Point within the next few years. Oysters have been fished on the Hayling oysterbeds, at the northwest corner of the island, as long ago as Roman times, documented in town records since 1615.

Hayling Island Beach View DJI Phantom 3
Hayling Island has over 3 miles of beaches along the seafront facing the Solent and many more miles of shore around the Harbours of Langstone and Chichester. The three main beaches of the Island have won both the European Blue Flag and the Keep Britain Tidy Group – Seaside Award Flag for cleanliness and management.
The Hayling Seafront is primarily a shingle beach above the high tide mark, with long stretches of sand below this line. Views of the Solent are exceptional with the Isle of Wight plainly seen and wide stretches of open water, criss-crossed with yachts and ferries going to the Continent.
At high tide the waters can get deep quickly with the shelving of the beaches, at low tides the waters are usually shallow, especially at West beach, which is excellent for swimming. The West Winner sand bank stretches for about a mile into the Hayling bay, providing shelter from the larger waves for the beaches and at West Beach, a ‘lagoon’ within which the waters warm nicely as the tide rises during the day.
About a third of the beach is protected by groynes which cut into the sea to prevent the removal of beach material and act as shelters from the sea breezes which blow throughout the year. These breezes prevent the beaches and the Island from getting too hot during the summer and from being too cold in the winter. They also provide excellent sailing conditions for windsurfers and sailors alike throughout the year, making Hayling a very popular location for enthusiasts of the sport from all over the country and abroad.

Beach Hut on Hayling Island for sale - June 2018
This is a very special Beach Hut, constructed from Hardwood as a Summer house for the Hambledon Estate, it was moved to Hayling Island after WWII.
It was fully refurbished in 2016 with a new marine ply outer skin on the weather sides and original vertical oak planks on the lee. It is perfectly sited mid-way between the funfair and Eastoke Corner, both are a leisurely 5-minute walk on level and well maintained paths.
The Beach Hut has two built-in cupboards and a separate storage area that also serves as seating.We fitted a glass-paneled door and a pair of storm doors that form an secure and weather resistant frontage. In addition there is a rear door that opens directly onto the car park for easy access.
We will be leaving a lot of useful additions such as a two-burner gas cooker, kettle, beach toys, body boards and other fun stuff. The Beach Hut is unlike nearly all other huts at Hayling in that it has a long history and has survived every storm for over 70 years!

Hayling Island Railway
The Hayling Seaside Railway, formerly East Hayling Light Railway, is a 2 ft (610 mm) narrow gauge railway on Hayling Island, Hampshire, England. It is mainly a diesel operated railway, though from time to time the railway hires steam locomotives from other narrow gauge railways. It operates passenger trains between Beachlands and Eastoke Corner.
The Hayling Seaside Railway began life as the East Hayling Light Railway (EHLR), formed by Bob Haddock, a member of the society who in the mid-1980s attempted to reinstate the Hayling Billy Line.
Havant Borough Council had already decided to turn the disused railway line into a cycle-way and footpath which precluded any chance of rebuilding the line as standard gauge, the option preferred by the committee of the society. Some members including Haddock decided to create their own railway elsewhere on Hayling Island and after numerous setbacks, a site was found within the Mill Rythe Holiday Camp where the EHLR was constructed and ran successfully for many years.
Perhaps inspired by the success of the EHLR, Havant Council took the step of including a railway in their draft plan for Hayling's popular Pleasure Beach. Haddock submitted a plan for a narrow gauge railway to meet the Council's criteria, but the council refused planning permission. After a campaign lasting over 12 years, permission to build the railway was granted, but only after the Council's decision was overturned by the Department of the Environment.
Following closure of the EHLR at Mill Rythe, work started in October 2001 on the building of Beachlands Station on land leased from the neighbouring Funland Amusement Park. Work continued through 2002 and into 2003 and the line finally opened to passengers on 5 July 2003, re-christened as The Hayling Seaside Railway. As of 2006 there was a mile of track in place and it was planned to extend it to the ferry terminal connecting the island with Portsmouth so providing a useful transport link. However, in 2015 the Portsmouth to Hayling ferry was withdrawn from operation due to the owners becoming bankrupt so this extension looks doubtful.
In the early part of 2015 after a lengthy period of campaigning to the local authority work started on a new depot at Eastoke Corner as the lease on the depot at Beachlands had run out.

Hayling Seaside Railway - 13/01/2018
A return to the Hayling Seaside Railway for the first time in just over two years on Saturday 13th January 2018.
The reason for the visit was that the railway was running a Steam-Hauled passenger service with the Hampshire Narrow-Gauge Railway Trust's 'Bagnall' 0-4-0ST W/No.2091 Wendy. Assistance was provided by the HSR's 4wDH No.1 Alan B. as Wendy does not have air-braking equipment for the coaches.
In this video we see the train at various places along the short line between Eastoke Corner and Beachlands.

Hayling Seaside Railway 2018
A short video, taken on Saturday 24th March 2018, showing the 2ft gauge Hayling Seaside Railway in Hampshire. Very reminiscent of the Rye and Camber Tramway, it is an end to end line laid close to the beach with stations at Eastoke Corner and Beachlands. Locomotive “Jack” No.3 can be seen which was built by Alan Keef Engineering of Ross-on-Wye in 1988. Jack is a steam outline diesel locomotive and my thoughts on seeing the loco was that it looked very much like the Mamod model steam locomotive design. The railway is open every Wednesday, Saturday & Sunday in 2018, plus every day during Hampshire School Holidays. See their website for further details.
