Hayling Island is exposed to large waves and high tides. To prevent properties from flooding when these factors combine, Havant Borough Council undertakes beach recycling works along the Eastoke Frontage.

The work is carried out twice a year to give flood protection during winter storms and to prepare the beach for any adverse weather conditions during the summer.

Beach recycling is the movement of material from areas of beach build up to areas of erosion. This helps to restore beach levels and increase the standard of protection against flooding at Eastoke.

This Spring beach recycling campaign will take approximately 4 weeks to complete.
