Sinah is the area at the south western end of Hayling Island. It incorporates the Ferrypoint, Sinah Beach, The Kench, Sinah Warren, and Sinah Common. It is bounded to the east by West Town. and north and western sides to are area border south east of Langstone Harbour and its entrance. To the south is Hayling Bay
Monks had settled in the Sinah Warren by the 15th century. Fishermens' huts were present in the shelter of the Kench by the 19th century. The Norkfolk Inn, precursor to the Ferry Boat Inn, was created to serve the needs of the fishermen. Mr. Sandeman around 1900 set to extend a road out to the ferrypoint for the Hayling Island Steamboat enterprise. While that enterprise failed the road did assist subsequent development of the Hayland Island Ferry, golf course, health farm and the war effort for the second world war. In recent years land use of Sinah has stabilised with various areas being designated nature reserves.
The Ferry Point is at the westernmost tip of Hayling Island in Hampshire, England, overlooking the fast tides of Langstone Harbour entrance. It was previously known as Sinah Point.
The current at the Ferry point is extremely treacherous and has claimed many lives over the years.
There is a small cluster of houses and a pub, the "Ferry Boat Inn" (originally the Duke of Norfolk). Continuing directly past the put leads to a slipway directly into the water. A fork to the left leads past the base of the Langstone Harbour Master to the jetty for the passenger ferry to Eastney in Portsmouth.
The Hayling Island golf course backs on to the point and the Kench (a small bay) lies just eastward. A single lane leads east toward the rest of the island. There are good views north to Portsdown Hill and Butser Hill.
Sinah Beach extends from the Ferry Boat Inn at the western end of Hayling Island.
Sinah Warren is the area to north of Ferry Road where the Holiday Camp is located. Monks initially has a settlement here by the 15th century, and it is jokingly put this was the first health farm on the site. The 16th century saw the monks displayed and the rights sold to the Duke of Norfolk. It may have been sold to William Padwick, Esq. in 1825. Sold to August Arbutrhnot in the 1930s he build the Sinah Warren Residence and planted various species of plants and trees from his worldwide travels and established one of the first Factory Farms, initials with Angora Rabbits then with Poultry to help alleviate the food shortage in the Second World War. The Royal Navy then took over Sinah Warren until 195 when it was sold and developed into the current holiday camp.
