For all 'the dippers' out there...

Wild swimming has become so popular and understandably so. These houses are within 2km of the coast.

“People swim at Hordle Cliff beach throughout the year. We often see the swimmers. Follow the safe swim guidelines and enjoy!
Jane, Director of Happiness, lives in Milford on Sea

Wild swimming is popular at Highcliffe, Barton on Sea, Milford on Sea beaches, definitely not anywhere along the Hurst Spit – the water is very fast here. Lepe beach is also good – see pic to the right.
