Places of interest in Southsea

South Parade Pier
Reopened in 2017, South Parade Pier’s an incredibly popular fishing spot. Although it’s popular with fishermen, it also includes an amusement arcade that’s great for when family come to visit and The Gaiety Bar where you can enjoy a relaxing drink.

Canoe Lake and Southsea Common
Canoe Lake’s been open since 1886. The main highlight’s an impressive boating lake that’s surrounded by beautiful floral beds. In the winter, the lake’s also a nursery for swans. When family visit, Canoe Lake’s the place to be. It has a children’s play area that comes with a zip wire, a sand pit and a water area.
Close by, Southsea Common’s a fantastic place to take a stroll. It’s four miles long and in summer it’s usually packed with people flying kites, playing ball games and enjoying a picnic while making the most of the views out to sea.

Gunwharf Quays
In nearby Portsmouth centre, Gunwharf Quays is a paradise for shoppers. Overlooked by the iconic Spinnaker Tower, it’s one of the UK’s leading designer outlets. Located on the waterfront, the centre’s home to over 90 different brands and over 30 different restaurants.

Southsea Castle
Reportedly built to specifications set out by Henry VIII, Southsea Castle’s the most southerly point in Portsmouth. It overlooks the Solent and much of the city, offering fantastic views in every direction. If you’d like more of a history fix, then the D-Day Museum is only slightly further along the promenade.

Jackie Follett Testimonial

"As if moving into my beautiful new apartment wasn’t enough, everything that led up to the move was handled by McCarthy Stone. I couldn’t believe how easy it all turned out to be; I was left with just two boxes to unpack which suited me and Meira just fine"
