A lack of roads, car parks, cafes and facilities make this one of the IOW’s best kept secrets. One of the quietest parts of the coastal path, this section is well-signposted and maintained throughout, with natural, unspoilt coastal views. We walked along at low tide and on a cloudy day but plan to revisit to walk the Newtown Nature Reserve boardwalk at high tide. After, we walked onto the Sportsman pub, in Porchfield, for a friendly welcome and an excellent lunch.
