Clarence Pier

Visit Clarence Pier Beach

Clarence Pier is located close to Old Portsmouth at the western side of Southsea beach in Hampshire. The beach here is easily accessible and offers stunning views of the Solent and the Isle of Wight.

Right next to the beach, Clarence Pier itself features a variety of amusement rides and arcades. You can enjoy everything from classic arcade games to thrilling rides, all just steps away from the beach.

From here you can also take a fun day trip to the Isle of Wight using the hovercraft service from Southsea Hoverport to Ryde. The journey is incredibly quick, taking less than 10 minutes, which makes it perfect for a spontaneous day out.

There is plenty of parking along Clarence Esplanade as well as a carpark across the road.
