The Solent is a stunning area of coastline. The variety of habitats from sandy beaches to muddy river banks support a huge variety of plants and animals. There are many ways to experience the uniqueness of the region and soak up all it has to offer, including on two wheels, on foot or on the water.

Local authorities and national organisations have produced resources dedicated to active travel which help people to stay fit, experience more and capture the Solent in the best way possible.

Many of these beautiful areas are also used by feeding, resting and nesting birds, alongside other sensitive wildlife. So make sure you share our shores following the Coastal Code to ensure that wildlife can enjoy these areas too.
