Local Area

At the heart of Sandown Bay (known as The Bay area to locals), is the classic seaside town, with beautiful beaches, plenty of fun things to do, and is at the top of the UK sunshine leagues.

The Revetment, a seawall walk from Sandown to Shanklin, is a great way to appreciate the vistas of the bay and even better with an ice cream in hand.

Sandown Bay is a broad open bay which stretches for much of the length of the isle of Wight's south eastern coast.  It extends 8.5 miles (13.7 km) from Culver Down, near Yaverland in the northeast of the Island, to just south of Shanklin, near the village of Luccombe in the southwest.

The town centre has an array of shops, restaurants, bars and cafes.

The Isle of Wight has a warm, mild climate and is one of the sunniest areas in the British Isles 

The towns of Shanklin, Lake and Sandown are on the bay's coast, while Luccombe and Upper Ventnor feature panoramic views across both Sandown Bay to the East and the Undercliff to the southwest.
