How to get to Blue Reef Aquarium Portsmouth
Blue Reef is on the Southsea waterfront at the southern tip of Portsea Island, just off Clarence Esplanade. There aren’t any specific Blue Reef Aquarium Portsmouth parking spaces available, but there’s plenty of pay and display parking close to the entrance. Disabled visitors are advised to contact the aquarium beforehand for information on accessibility and parking. The aquarium isn’t far from the end of the M275, which is connected to the M27 and A27, as well as the A3(M) which heads north to London. There are trains to Portsmouth Harbour from the capital’s Waterloo station which take just over an hour and a half. Blue Reef is a mile and a half from the station, taking around half an hour to stroll along the pretty seafront.
