With the sun containing to shining down on our county are our editor’s picks of some of the best for you to try across the city and its surrounding towns and villages:

13. On The Water
Tucked away on the Solent Beach Path at Marine Parade West in Lee-on-the-Solent is a fantastic resident with views overlooking the Solent which is perfect as a stop off on a walk or for some food. The outside seating area is also sheltered. Photo: Google

14. The Ship Inn
The Ship Inn at Langstone can be found at the northern end of the Hayling bridge and has fantastic views out into Emsworth Harbour which are glorious on a sunny day. And don't forget the magnificent Royal Oak pub which is also at Langstone! Photo: Google Streetview

15. Rapscallions
Fantastic marina views are just a must at Port Solent and there are an abundance of restaurants and eateries to choose from to soak in the atmosphere. But one of the best - and most fun - places to enjoy the summer views is Rapscallions which is pirate-themed inside, and has beer barrels and benches outside. Photo: Sarah Standing
