Guide to the area
Beaches
The best beach near Church House Stables undoubtedly West Wittering, which is about 35 mins away. You need to book a space in the car park in advance as you won’t be able to just turn up. You can book online or on the JustPark app.
Last entry 8pm, and great café if you don’t want to bring a picnic. No tourist tat – just beach. Can be windy…

The Isle of Wight is separated from Portsmouth by the Solent, but you could always get a ticket to Ryde… only 20 mins on the ferry.
The Red Funnel ferry terminal in Portsmouth and hovercraft terminal in Southsea, both of which go to Ryde, are only 20 mins from here. You could take a 30 min bus ride from there to Cowes and enjoy lunch at the Smoking Lobster. If you’d like to take your car, you need to travel from Southampton then the whole island and its many attractions are your oyster… Perfectly possible as a day trip.
