About Port Solent

Port Solent is a distinctive waterfront destination on the northern edge of Portsmouth, built around a modern marina and a lively marina-village setting. Designed to bring together waterside living, leisure, and local convenience, it offers a relaxed atmosphere with wide promenades, sheltered views, and an ever-changing backdrop of boats and harbour activity.

At its heart is the marina and The Boardwalk, creating a natural focal point for everyday life and weekends alike. Whether you are enjoying a walk along the water, meeting friends locally, or making the most of nearby fitness and leisure facilities, Port Solent combines the character of a coastal location with straightforward access to the wider city and surrounding area.

Eat & Drink

Port Solent’s marina-side Boardwalk has a strong mix of places to eat and drink, ideal for everything from quick lunches to relaxed evenings by the water. Popular options include Koh Thai, Zizzi, Wildwood, Prezzo, and Relentless Steak & Lobster House, all within the waterfront village.

The setting is part of the appeal, with many venues looking onto the marina and a pace that suits casual catch-ups and weekend meals. For the latest list and opening details, check out the Port Solent website.

Shopping

Shopping at Port Solent centres around the marina-edge boutiques and The Trading Post, offering a mix of lifestyle and practical services in a compact, walkable area. Examples include Cotton Traders, Pavers, Klass, and outdoor retailers such as Runners Need and Snow+Rock.
