Sea Grove Avenue

Street guide, Hayling Island

Sea Grove Avenue runs parallel to the seafront in South Hayling, a residential street one block back from the beach. The road is lined with a mix of houses, bungalows, and some larger properties, many built in the inter-war period when the southern part of the island was developing as a holiday destination. The proximity to the beach makes this a desirable address, and properties here command a premium. Sea Grove Avenue has a relaxed, coastal character, with the sound of the sea audible on still days and the beach a short walk away. The road provides an alternative route along the seafront for those who want to avoid the busier Sea Front road. In summer, the area benefits from the holiday atmosphere; in winter, it is quiet and residential.
