Shingle beach at the end of a small lane, great views of the Solent. Can swim here, although it's quite muddy so best to go at high tide.

City/town information
Beaulieu means beautiful place in French, and doesn't disappoint. Lovely quaint village with great cafes and shops. For those who enjoy walking, there's a great walk up to Bucklers Hard along the River Beaulieu.

Fun day out
Great for those who enjoy a bit of adrenaline! The wakeboarding cable offers challenging turns and jumps to those who dare, and the inflatable obstacle course is entertaining with a group. It's worth phoning ahead to check opening and availability.

Extensively refurbished in 2021, and run by Punch. There's a cosy pub area, smart restaurant area, and fantastic seating options outside (covered and uncovered). Best of all, they serve PIG BEER on draft.
