Sandown beach

A very large beach popular with families. Plenty to see and do including it's pier with Crazy Golf and Mini Fairground on the large pier itself which dates from 1879. Cafe's, pubs, restaurants, beach shops and fast food galore with lots of amusements. Heavily commercialised although it is a bit quieter at its extremities, where it meets Lake beach and at the other end Yaverland beach. Good for water sports. Lots of soft sand.

Lifeguards here Sandown beach Looking towards Culver cliff direction which is not that clear due to haze as it was very hot. Looking in the other direction towards Lake and Shanklin. Taken with a long lens several years ago this hot dog quite liked the hat, its owner put it back on for me as she could see that I was taking a picture of her dog, a wave of thanks was acknowledged.
