Stretching from Old Portsmouth in the east to the conservation area of Eastney in the west, Portsmouth’s seafront is one of the most popular areas of the city. Enjoyed by visitors and residents alike, this four-mile stretch of coastline is home to beautiful beaches, historic fortifications, family attractions and a long promenade with views over the harbour and Solent.
Next to the beach and seafront promenade is Southsea Common – a vast open space, ideal for spending time with family and friends, kite flying, informal ball games and picnics. There are also designated barbecue zones on the common.
