Our sunny and hot summer has now faded into memory, but this is not a reason to get upset. There are still some warm days and we can always prey for a late Indian summer which would be wonderful. Even now you can enjoy our warm autumn season on the Islands sea shores. As the golden beaches of the Isle of Wight, always attract many late holidaymakers every year. In addition to the wide range of attractions, fun, amusement events, festivals, historical places of interest, Isle of Wight is famous for its rich beach and coastal walks. Isle of Wight Tourism is happy to provide people with information on many walks and rambles.

People who are born near the seaside get very used to going to the beach and having recreational fun in and out of the water. Children like to play in the sand, build sandcastles, families enjoy picnics and romantic pairs take pleasurable loving strolls with each other, listening to the waves striking against the coastal rocks. Why don't I give you a sample of some of the IOW beaches describing their delights and secrets.
Sandown bay is a traditional family resort famous for its long golden sandy ...
... beach.

The pier is the perfect place to relax and unwind. The sea air is wonderful, and a walk along the coastal path towards Bembridge is the best way to enjoy it, while savoring the stunning scenery from the top of Culver Down on your way. If you find time to tear yourself away from the beach, you can discover that the town has a nice choice of restaurants and along with many local pubs. Do tell the children that the area around Sandown Bay is a good place to go fossil hunting which will keep them amused for hours as they scour the rock pools for a prehistoric find! This year the beaches received a Blue Flag Beach Award for its high standards.

Shanklin beach which is situated a little further along the coast is also a long and sandy one, but not so rocky. Do take time to admire Shanklin Chine which is a narrow gorge running down to the sea, filled with rare plants, a waterfall and lots of points of interest, such as PLUTO the famous Pipeline Under The Ocean, which kept the troops on D Day supplied with water, oil and petrol. Moving up at the top of the gorge you will discover the Old Village with its thatched cottages, tearooms and small shops all greeting the visitor with open arms and cream teas. The town itself has a good choice of restaurants, cafes and pubs; again In 2009 Shanklin beach also received an award of the Marine Conservation Society Good Beach Guide.

Form Shanklin one can walk all the way around to Ventnor, which is a seaside resort with a very long tradition, perfect for family holiday and is wonderfully Victorian and very picturesque.

Ventnor nestles in the shelter of steep sided hills, and was the seaside town of choice in Victorian times because of its mild climate and therapeutic sea air. Its sandy beach is great for relaxation and the new harbour is a great place to hire a fishing boat or take a afternoon trip on one of the marine trips. A walk along the coast path takes you to the famous twenty two acres Botanic Gardens, a dream to walk around and peruse the trees and flowers and you must while there nip down to visit Steephill Cove, one of the islands` many hidden gems, it is so wonderful and I am sure you will remember it forever. You can buy fresh and delicious lobster and crab here at several of the eateries. Ventnor beach is tranquil and comfortable beach. The beach also received the Marine Conservation Society Good Beach Guide 2009 award.

Now you can choose from my little list a beach that best suits your taste. For me it will always be Steephill Cove. Do not hesitate to find a fitting accommodation on the Isle of Wight by looking for all on the internet.
