Overview

This walk starts from the Hayling Island Light Railway Station near Eaststoke Corner and takes us westwards towards The Ferryboat Inn where we'll stop for a short break before our return journey along the shoreline.  This walk is flat along good paths and through gorseland, but will involve some walking on the return leg across stones/shingle as we hug the beach.  

There is an optional lunch stop at the end at Isla Bay Seafront Kitchen for anyone who wishes to stay on.
