3 Great Isle of Wight Beaches
The Isle of Wight offers a lot of attractions to people of all ages all year round.
Yet one of the main attractions on the Isle of Wight is its wonderful selection of beaches that provide something a little different depending on what you are looking for.
Like most British people we love our beaches and what holiday would be complete without a trip to the beach playing in the sand, building sandcastles, having a picnic and listening to the waves crashing on to the shore.
With so much choice on offer on the Isle of Wight this article will try and highlight just a few of the more popular beaches that you should try and visit on your holiday.
Beach one is the Sandown beach.
This is a large beach which has always proved popular with families and has a lot to offer.
The pier is always a popular destination and the crazy golf and mini fairground will ensure that you won't run out of entertaining things to do.
A wonderful selection of pubs, restaurants, fast food outlets, and amusements surrounds the beach so you will find plenty to do if you don't want to spend all day on the sand.
Also a great location for people who love water sports and soft sand and dog restrictions also apply.
The beach also received a Blue Flag Beach Award in 2009 for it's high standards.
A little more secluded beach and less popular is the beach that the area of Shanklin has to offer.
There is a medium sized car park to hand and there are near by cliff tops it you fancy a scenic stroll.
As well as offering a selection of cafes, pubs, hotels a small crazy golf and a little pitch and putt the area also has a range of amusements which will keep the children out of trouble.
The beaches most recent award is that of the Marine Conservation Society Good Beach Guide 2009.
Our third and final beach on the list is the offering from the area of Ventnor.
This is another great beach for the whole family but not really ideal for any water sport activities due to hidden rocks in the local area.
On offer to the tourists is a great place that offers fresh Ventnor crab and lobster which is located at the end of the Esplanade.
A nice little beach, yet lacking the noise of amusements and attractions that the previously two mentioned beaches offer and the beach was also recommended by the Marine Conservation Society Good Beach Guide 2009.
There we have three great choices for a beach trip and a memorable holiday.
