The beach is situated on the south coast of Hayling Island facing across the Solent. The beach is primarily shingle around high tide but with long stretches of gently shelving sand exposed at low water. To the west, the beach is sheltered by the West Winner sand bank which stretches for about a mile into the bay at the mouth of Langstone Harbour. The bank is uncovered during low tides. Behind the beach is a grassed area and golf course.
Water quality is classified as "Excellent" based on samples taken from the previous 4 years, 2021 through to 2024.
