Southsea is a seaside resort located in Portsmouth at the southern tip of Portsea Island in the county of Hampshire in England. The built up areas of Portsmouth and Southsea run into one another, and the centre of Southsea is less than a mile from Portsmouth city centre. The Southsea beach is stony and has two piers: South Parade Pier and Clarence Pier; both house amusement arcades; South Parade Pier also contains a ballroom and a bar area. Clarence Pier is adjacent to a permanent funfair. To commemorate the millennium, a scenic walk was created which runs to Gunwharf Quays from Southsea seafront. The route is marked on the pavement, and is lined by distinctive blue street lanterns. There are a number of miniature golf courses, a skateboard park and public grass and clay tennis courts. The D-Day museum (which holds the Overlord embroidery) is located on the seafront in Southsea, very close to Southsea castle. Cumberland House is a natural history museum, butterfly house and aquarium. The Blue Reef Aquarium is also situated on the seafront. Throughout the summer, there are regular open air concerts and events at the bandstand and on Castle Field. More on Southsea
