You get a great view of the ships coming and going from one of the UK’s largest ports. You can also see cruise ships going in and out of Southampton harbour, which is quite a spectacle!
It is perfect for swimming, paddle-boarding, kayaking, and even ship/boat spotting. It is also a great place for family walks in all weathers.
Many visitors love the endless nature and depth of the sea, the beautiful rocky beach, and the wonderful view of cruise ships leaving Southampton. It is also a great spot for photography with iconic beach huts.
There is parking a few steps away, an activity center, a cafe with a view of the Solent, and car parks with toilets. It is also a nice spot to park up and take in the scenery.
One visitor mentioned that their partner asked to marry them at Calshot Beach, making it one of their favorite places to go. Another visitor, who is South African, enjoys having braais by the sea and loves the lovely view of the island from the beach.
