Go to the Beautiful Hayling Island.

Make sure you're off before nightfall though, as the bridge goes up and the locals come out to feed.....

I read the title as if you were going to see how many people you could kill, in Portsmouth, in an hour. Must be nearly home time... 😕

Royal Marines Museum.

Wander along Southsea's Albert Road where all of the interesting shops are.

Gunwharf Quays/Spinnaker Tower.

Actually, if you're heading to Hayling Island, you could visit Rob Da Brewer aka Singletrackmind, and he might let you try his Pure Gold if you're very very lucky. It is a truly fabulous beer, and he is an incredibly handsome Riding God (and top-class XC race Top Ten Finisher).

Just don't let him pour the bloody stuff though.

That's him there in the foreground, not the nasty little brown thing in the background. That is however a 'pint' that he 'poured'. Shameful.

I bet the nasty little brown thing (aka perfectly formed, toned, and buff) drank it though.

Ah the sand dunes on Hayling Island - Late summer night BBQs, booze, dancing and sex. Fond memories.

O how i laughed.
Carefull , you will scare all the women and children posting photos like that in the interweb.
Its those shonky plastic glasses that do it , honest.
OP.- Try HMS Warrior , the first steel clad warship in the RN
GunWharf is OK , Spinnaker Tower is ace on a clear day if you dont mind heights
Boat trip round Portsmouth Harbour if you have time and its daylight, really informative, if you like big grey boats
