Sandown

About

Sandown is a firm favourite with families seeking a traditional seaside holiday. The magnificent sandy beach slopes gently into the sea, ideal for paddling and swimming. There are all kinds of watersports and attractions including amusements on the pier. 

Broad seafront promenades provide delightfully easy walking and are within easy reach of the town centre, which is packed with interesting small shops, pubs and restaurants. In the summer, a road train operates between the town, Esplanade, Culver Parade and Yaverland, where a footpath leads to Culver Down, with its panoramic views of the bay.

The two mile coastal walk between Sandown and Shanklin is a popular attraction, choose from the undulating coastal path or the sea wall promenade.
