What beach activities should we do in Walkford?
The best beach activities in Walkford involve exploring the natural coastline and enjoying the local marine environment, particularly around Highcliffe Beach and its nearby castle.

Highcliffe Beach is known for its shingle and sand mix, offering a relaxing spot for sunbathing or a gentle stroll. The beach is backed by cliffs, providing a nice backdrop, and you'll find plenty of space even during busier times. It's a great spot for families to build sandcastles or collect shells.

For those interested in water sports, the calmer waters of the Solent, accessible from nearby Mudeford Sandbank, are ideal for paddleboarding or kayaking. You can hire equipment locally, and the sheltered nature of the bay makes it suitable for beginners. Couples often enjoy a tandem kayak trip, exploring the coastline at a relaxed pace.

History enthusiasts might enjoy a walk along the beach towards Highcliffe Castle, an impressive Grade I listed building. The castle grounds are lovely to explore, and the views out to sea from the clifftop are quite striking.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a beach hotel in Walkford as a package?
Booking a beach hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately.

With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.

Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right beach hotel in Walkford for you.
