Sandown Beach — Attraction in Sandown

Really like the beach it's so varied. The bay is around 5 miles in length from Culver end to the North and South to Luccombe. Low tides leave acres of beach for kids (from babies to OAPs- I know I are one!) and adults. Plenty of refreshment places and voids with nothing in them at either end. We're regulars to this beach and love it. It's different everytime, tides and wind sculpt the beach differently each time and there's always something...

This beach is a real family orientated beach. The water when it's high tide is amazing. It's great looking over the water into the distance at the ships coming into Portsmouth. The guy who hires out the deck chairs and sun loungers is a really friendly guy who I spend time talking to. He grew up on the island and knows so much about it. Great conversation. The food from the driftwood bar and cafe is a great place to eat...

Love the place. It's so peaceful and not too busy on a beautiful warm day at 22 degree. Close sun and no wind makes it feel a lot warmer than it is. Sand is nice and soft, water is clean and lots of activities to do. The main beach is dog free which is a bonus for me. Luckily for me I had a BnB on the beach but if I didn't, I would like the option of having a shower on the beach to get rid of the sand... Esp...
