South Hayling Beach Management September 2025
Summary
Hayling Island is exposed to large waves and high tides. To prevent properties from flooding when these factors combine Havant Borough Council undertake beach recycling works along the Eastoke Frontage. Our work is carried out 2 times a year to prepare the beach for winter storms and prepare the beach for any summer storms.
Beach recycling is the movement of material from areas of beach build up to areas of erosion. This helps to restore beach levels and increase the standard of protection against flooding at Eastoke, Hayling Island. This Autumn beach recycling campaign will reinstate the beach crest ahead of the winter season.
Material for the project will be sourced from: Chichester Harbour by dredging supplemented with material recycled from Gunner Point and the Open beach.
- The works are due to start on site week commencing 1st September 2025 for approximately 4 weeks.
- The works will be carried out by Les Searle group and working hours will be between 6am and 10pm on a standard day.
- Please be aware that there will be machinery working and be vigilant of this when using the beach.
