Welcome to thebestof Portsmouth new blogging pages.
We are very lucky where we live, as we have great access to some of the most beautiful places here on the South Coast. We are fortunate to have the beaches nearby - when the sunshine appears.
Now the summer holidays are here, we all look for ideas on days out and places to go, so don't forget to check out the local events page on thebestof Portsmouth website www.thebestof.co.uk/portsmouth/local/events
The Spinnaker Tower offers great days out for us all, the views are amazing and on a really clear day you can see all the way to Chichester, the glass floor always proves popular especially with the children.
Southsea beaches and Hayling Island beaches although full of stones are a great place to get together with friends for long hot lazy summer days. The funfair is always popular with the youngsters, and don't forget to take a load of coins and play in the amusement arcades.
Along Southsea there is also the D Day Museum, Blue Reef Aquarium, Royal Marines Museum, crazy golf and pitch n putt too.
For those who love to shop and eat Gunwharf Quays is tHE place. I love it down here, and agin if the weather is great it's just like being away on holiday, whilst sat outside eating in one of the many restaurants. Gunwharf also hosts a Casino, Bowling and Cinema.
Whatever and wherever you choose to visit over the next few weeks - enjoy!
