Visit Lepe Beach
Lepe Beach and part of Lepe Country Park, on the shore of the Solent, next to the entrance to Beaulieu river. This beautiful part of the Hampshire coast is popular with watersports enthusiasts and walkers.
The beach is a south facing sandy beach (with some rock) and attracts sunbathers on a hot day. You can walk down the beach, where it is always quieter, or take some of the nearby trails.
Dogs can enjoy the country park, but are restricted from the beach during the summer holidays, from April until the end of September.
