The beach and its surroundings are pleasant, with plenty of cafes, shops, and restaurants in the area. The beach walk is relaxing, although it's not as pristine as we had hoped. Overall, there's nothing noteworthy to mention, but it's definitely a decent spot to spend some time.

This beach is absolutely beautiful. It offers great dining options and an arcade with a fish and chips shop. Additionally, there is a mini golf course nearby and the drive down to the beach provides a breathtaking view. I highly recommend visiting this beach during your trip to the Isle of Wight. The beach stretches all the way to the end and you can even rent sunbeds. If you're not a fan of pebbles, this beach has very few.

The area is absolutely delightful with a plethora of activities to indulge in. The beaches are breathtakingly beautiful and I even took a ride in the lift before finding a cozy pub for lunch. There are countless options for dining and drinking as well as charming little shops to explore. Additionally, there are arcades and amusement rides to keep you entertained. Overall, it's definitely worth a visit.

We began our beach walk at the Hope Road Long Stay Car Park and had to cut it short due to the high tide, so it's important to keep an eye on the tide schedule. Along the way, we encountered various types of beach terrain, such as sand, small stones, and large rocks. The stunning view of the sea and cliffs together was truly breathtaking. We also spotted waders on the beacon and interesting creatures on the rocks. We highly recommend catching the sunset, it's a sight to behold.

Wow, this beach is absolutely stunning with its gorgeous sandy shore! We visited in the evening and had a blast playing the pirate crazy golf course, which cost us £19 for myself and two children. The nearby arcade impressed us with its cleanliness and variety of amusements. The girls working at the ice cream kiosk were incredibly friendly and welcoming. This is definitely an area worth visiting!
