Lots of sand
Ryde
Another very large beach. Lots of things to do here and it is very popular with holidaymakers and day trippers. Heavily commercialised. Car parking is plentiful and it is also accessed by train, hovercraft and ferry. Just yards from the towns shops there is also a mini funfair, amusements, cafe's, pubs, restaurants, nightclubs, beach shops, children's playgrounds, paddling pool, boating lake and lots and lots of sand. It can be quite noisy here in some places because of the hovercraft activity.
Lifeguards here. Appley Tower pictured above, a Gothic revival tower overlooking the sea. Quite a long Pier with car, train, ferry, and walking access. The only Hovercraft service still operational in the U.K.
