Beachlands is primarily a shingle beach part of the larger Hayling seafront, but this central part stretches from the Inn on the Beach in the west towards the funfair in the east.

Dogs are banned seasonally between 1 May and 30 September.

This area of the seafront is the best for entertainment of all sorts. It is the home of the Hayling Fairground, and the amusement arcades are open all year round.

There are car parks, toilets, beach huts, a tourist information office, several kiosks, cafes, bars and restaurants.
