Port Solent

To the north of Portsea Island lies Port Solent – where you can enjoy a more relaxed pace as you take in the shops. There are a host of independent boutiques along the marina’s edge, as well as a larger Snow + Rock store along the car park.

Once you’ve taken in all the shops, you can enjoy a leisurely walk to take in the views of Portsmouth Harbour, or enjoy some food and drink at one of the many on-site restaurants. There’s even an Odeon cinema to really make a day of it.

In addition to its free parking, Port Solent also offers a packed itinerary of events throughout the year – including Kids Clubs during school holidays and regular markets. As ever, the events page is where you can see what’s coming up.
