The village can be reached by public transport from New Milton railway station or from Lymington.
Signposts point one down to the seafront where there are ample car parks by the sea wall.
There is a hard two miles walk down to Hurst Castle at the single beach's end. The ancient monument is open throughout the year and contains a pleasant cafe. A ferry service to the Castle only runs from Easter through the summer months. This sets off from Keyhaven, a waterside hamlet with a popular pub, and a large public car park. From Keyhaven to Lymington the Solent Way follows the sea wall around the marshes for 4 miles.
