Hurst Beach
You anchor off Hurst Spit, a dramatic mile-long shingle bank at the western end of the Solent, with the imposing Hurst Castle sitting right at its tip. It's a wild, exposed spot with big views across to the Isle of Wight and the New Forest coastline stretching behind you — well worth the dinghy ashore to explore.
