The magnificent sands of Sandown Bay dominate the east coast of the Isle of Wight. This is where you will find the epicentre of our island’s traditional, bucket and spade tourism industry with good reason. The uninterrupted sandy beach stretches for 5 miles yet how many people know there is more to the beach than deckchairs and sunshine?
Peer beyond the crowds and you will discover that wildlife is fighting its corner in this part of our island, and you don’t need to be an expert to discover natural wonders from a time long before ice-cream.
