Latest reviews on Locks Heath's beaches

Calshot Beach
8 Sarvani Patel

The serene beach boasts of vibrant huts and an array of water sports to indulge in while relishing on some refreshing beverages. However, the beach is situated quite far from the city, making it imperative to have your own means of transportation as buses are infrequent, arriving only once an hour.

Southsea beach

We had a great time at the amusement arcade on the pier that overlooks the beach. The person in charge was really friendly and laid-back when it came to handling the tickets and prizes, which the kids absolutely loved. They even mentioned that compared to other arcades, the prizes were better in terms of the number of tickets we earned. It's worth noting that the 'Quik Drop' machine was a big hit among those with quick reflexes, as it gave out a lot of tickets. Although the arcade could use a bit of cleaning, we understand that it was a busy bank holiday at a popular seaside destination. All in all, it's a fantastic place to have some fun and try your luck at winning awesome prizes!

Appley Beach
10 Haley O'Connell

The beach is absolutely stunning, and when we went on a Friday, there weren't many people around, creating a peaceful atmosphere for a sunlit stroll. It's well-maintained, boasting a charming shoreline, a tower, and a cafe at the far end. The car park is convenient, albeit slightly pricier compared to other places I've been to, and a few of the machines were out of order. Nevertheless, all in all, it's definitely worth paying a visit!

This beach is an amazing destination that my family and I thoroughly enjoyed. We spent our time fishing and cockling, and even my 6-year-old daughter was able to catch an eel. We decided to camp out overnight in our motorhome and it was a wonderful experience. Additionally, there is a bird sanctuary located right across from the beach that we absolutely loved. Overall, this beach is a fantastic location that offers a variety of activities for all ages to enjoy.
