Seaview Village

Seaview sits to the eastern end of the town of Ryde, and is a unique village with extensive views across the sea and Solent.

Seaview has a reputation for being an upmarket resort, and as such is very popular with tourists.

During the summer months the village becomes a busy centre for sailing and watersports.

Things To Do in Seaview

Whilst Seaview often falls quiet during the winter months, as the season begins the village comes to life and there are lots of things to do locally.

Much of Seaview’s reputation as an Edwardian resort was built on its panoramic sea views and great sandy beaches, and these are still two of its largest assets.

The beach of Springvale offers some of the best of these views, straight across the Solent to Portsmouth and the Spinnaker Tower, and the famous Solent forts.

To the rear of Springvale is Puckpool Park, which is built within a former Victorian Fortification Battery and has tennis courts, mini-golf and a children’s play area as part of its beautiful gardens.

Seaview Beach provides the ideal launch platform for boats and watersports, and there is a yacht club down on its front.

The village sits directly behind here which contains several boutique style shops, some of which are seasonal.

Further down the coast Seagrove beach is possibly the most popular beach in the area and offers gently sloping golden sands for swimming and other activities when the tide is out.

The sea wall to the rear of this beach is very popular for walks along to Priory Bay Beach, which has further great views and shallow sands.

Above the high tide line this beach belongs to the Priory Bay Hotel.

On the outskirts of Seaview village is one of the Isle of Wight’s oldest and most popular animal attractions, the Seaview Wildlife Encounter.
