Activities

Don’t just be a passive observer on your next trip to Portsmouth – get right into the heart of the action with our great array of fun activities.

Much of the action is centred along the seafront, with watersports centres, boat hire companies and countless others operating within a pebble’s throw of the sea.

Maybe instead you’d prefer to get out and explore everything the city has to offer on foot? Portsea Island is relatively small and very flat, so it’s the perfect place for walking and running. Head out under your own steam, or book onto a guided tour led by local experts who can showcase the city's hidden history.

Portsmouth can also be easily traversed on two wheels – with the road along Southsea Promenade being a special favourite with locals and visitors alike. Discover the city’s cycle routes, and be sure to visit our Maps page for information on the many city cycleways.

If you’re after a quieter pace of life on the water’s edge, our fishing spots will be a great place to spend whole afternoons, days or even whole weekends.

The shallows around Portsmouth are a haven for waders – making the city a prime destination for birdwatching. Head out to our internationally significant breeding spots to see a host of brent geese, curlew, common redshank and a whole lot more.

Maybe you’d rather enjoy a spot of pampering and luxury? If so, see your health and spa options for your trip to Portsmouth. Whether you want a few treatments to supplement your stay or go all out, we have plenty to choose from.

Or how about getting out to make memories that will last a lifetime? See all the adventure and outdoor activities you can enjoy in Portsmouth, to really get the blood pumping.
