One of the Isle of Wight's best-loved beaches, Sandown combines a vast arc of soft, golden sand with the popular pleasure pier. From buckets and spades to surf, there's something for everyone.

Sandown Beach is a picturesque location featuring golden sands and crystal clear waters. Toward the back of the beach is a paved promenade against a beautiful backdrop of dramatic cliffs, here you will discover many great cafés, shops, and various attractions.
