Today Portchester Castle is used mainly for recreation: the inner section of the castle accommodates displays and exhibits. The castle is a popular venue for school outings, while the sea front is frequented at high tide by anglers in pursuit of flounders and bass. Portchester Castle is rumoured to be haunted; on one occasion a member of staff claimed to see a horse appear from a wall and then disappear.
