SHANKLIN BEACH, ISLE of WIGHT

The coastal popular resort of Shanklin is located in the southeast corner of the island, at the southernmost tip of Sandown Bay. Golden sands are protected by a high sea wall with a traditional paved promenade creating the vision of a traditional English seaside. The pier was lost in a storm in 1987, and the location is now marked with a park area with benches.
The beach is safe and sandy, with clear water and plenty of parking nearby. Protection from the prevailing winds is provided by the headland of Dunnose Point.
