"Right on the beach in Southsea, just to the east of South Parade Pier, Southsea Beach Cafe goes from strength to strength. Breakfast is served until 11.45am and includes the following Granola Bowl, Mushroom Baked Hash, Belgian Waffles, Scallop and Bacon Bap as well as all of your traditional favourites. Great food and great sea views."

"The big one - and the one many people think of when Portsmouth's beaches come to mind. The stretch along Southsea Seafront is a perennial favourite, with wonderful views out to sea and plenty of space to spread out. Broadly speaking, Southsea Beach runs from Clarence Pier to just beyond South Parade Pier."

"Southsea beach is pebble/stoney beach that stretches along the whole southern end of Portsea Island from Old Portsmouth beach to Eastney beach. Adjacent to the beach and seafront promenade, Southsea Common is a large open space. Facilities include parking, toilets, promenade, and food outlets."

"Hengistbury Head is a beautiful spot, less than half an hour along the coast from Bournemouth. It offers views to the Isle of Wight, back towards Bournemouth and also across the lagoon towards Christchurch. If you want to buy your own slice of the English coastline, check out the top-of-the-range beach huts selling for over £300k!"

"Six miles east of Bournemouth town centre is Hengistbury Head, a Site of Special Scientific Interest. The “Head” is a promontory looking over the English Channel, and has been occupied by humans since the Upper Palaeolithic. If you don’t have a car you can reach it via the Land Train, or cycle along the promenade."

"Technically it’s just out of the New Forest, but it’s an easy (and fabulous) attraction to add to your itinerary. Hengistbury Head is a headland that juts out of the coast not far from Bournemouth. It’s a bit of a nature lovers playground, with lots of different animals around and a pretty amazing beach."

"There’s also a lovely beach at Steephill Cove with a variety of cafes, which is just below the Botanic Garden, accessible on foot only. Again, depending on your interests and schedule, these are all excellent stops. One stop that we definitely recommend you do include on your trip is Old St. Boniface’s Church in Bonchurch. This is a really cute little church which dates from the 11th century, and is one of very few medieval churches in England dedicated to this Saxon monk."

"Water quality: excellentDogs: welcome October-AprilCar park: pay and display (Sat nav: SO45 1BS). Calshot beach is part of a shingle spit on the Hampshire coast which extends westward by one mile into the southern end of Southampton Water. The beach is mostly shingle with some sand and is backed by colourful beach huts that offer views over the Solent to the Isle of Wight."

"Head east from South Parade Pier and you'll find the Yomper Statue, around which point Southsea Beach turns into Eastney Beach. Whilst still a favourite space to spread out during the popular summer months (where Southsea gets full very quickly), this is where it starts to get a little more rugged. Scattered across the shingle you'll find gorse and scrub - a great place for playing hide and seek with the little ones!"

"Eastney beach is a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation (SINC). The plant life on the shingle includes nationally rare plants. These plants also act as a valuable roosting and feeding area for birds."

"This restaurant in Southsea's Albert Road has a two-course kids menu which includes the likes of chicken nuggets, burger and fish fingers as well as ice cream. It has a 4.5 star rating on Tripadvisor from 435 reviews. Photo: Sarah Standing"
