The Spit is a pebble promontory that protects marshland from the open sea. The Point is an inhabited sand and pebble area linked to the mainland by the Spit.
The Spit provides a raised viewpoint from which the adjacent marshes and open sea may be viewed. The marshes are tidal and provide habitat to waders such as storspov, större strandpipare and roskarl with waterfowl such as gravand. The scrub on the Point is home to ängspiplärka and hämpling.
Parking is availble in Milford-on-Sea and Keyhaven, but these are likely to be busy at weekends and summer. The Spit is only accessible on foot, along shingle paths which connect to the Point. There are also foot ferries from Keyhaven to the Point. Much of the terrain is shingle and unsuitable for wheelchairs.
Hurst Castle is sited on Hurst Point and is a popular local destination so the area will be busy during holidays and weekends. This also means that toilets and refreshments are usually available (but check the Hurst Castle website). The marshes may also be viewed from the coastal road to Keyhaven.
