Hayling Island has been a popular holiday resort since it was first joined to the mainland by bridge in 1824. Even prior to that the wealthy would arrive by boat or causeway to enjoy what was then an exclusive spa resort. The bridge, and the later rise of the motor car, made Hayling Island far more accessible to the masses and holidays on Hayling reached their peak in the 1970s before cheap foreign holidays enticed holiday makers further afield.
The Island’s peaceful charm, open spaces, safe environment and miles of seafront still bring past visitors back for holidays and encourage new family visitors in. Today though they are joined by a new generation of leisure visitors who come primarily for the excellent watersports that Hayling Island has to offer.
