Visit Browndown Beach

Browndown Beach on the Hampshire coast is a beautiful sandy beach, with views across the Solent to the Isle of Wight. The beach is backed by the coastal grassland with scrub, Browndown Conservation Area. With lots of wide open space, it is designated an Area of Scientific Interest with some parts fenced off to protect the coastal vegitation.

Sometimes access to the beach here is blocked, because it is actually still used as an MOD training ground. Look out for the flags and signs.

Lots of dog walkers come here to enjoy the beach, as well as anglers.
