Compton Beach
10 Oksana Makedonskaya

This beach is undoubtedly one of the most stunning on the island, boasting breathtaking views of the cliffs and sea. Despite its easy accessibility, it remains relatively secluded, making it a peaceful and serene spot to unwind. The car park operates on a pay and display basis, with cash or app payments accepted. The beach itself is a sight to behold, with soft, sandy shores and ample opportunities for fossil hunting. Visitors can also marvel at the Dino footprints, adding a unique touch to the experience. Dog owners will be pleased to know that their furry friends are welcome all year round south of the steps. However, it's worth noting that there are no bins on the beach, except for a dog bin located near the free toilets at the top. Overall, this beach comes highly recommended for its natural beauty and tranquil atmosphere.

Sandown Beach
10 Daniel Stefan Zeeb

The beach was absolutely delightful, offering a picturesque view from sunrise to sunset. I had the pleasure of visiting this charming location recently and was blessed with three days of sunny, stunning weather. The town itself was quaint and the locals were incredibly welcoming, even to our furry friends. It was the ideal destination for a quick weekend escape.

Shanklin (Clock Tower) Beach
8 Lila Johnson

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!

Ventnor Beach
10 Drifting Visage

Using the fairy to travel from the midlands was an incredible experience. The beach is absolutely stunning, especially during the summer. The locals were extremely friendly and polite. The cleanliness of the area was outstanding, and the beaches were wonderfully secluded and beautiful. It was such a peaceful and pleasant atmosphere that I am already planning to return during the peak season. It's important to support the local businesses as they heavily depend on tourists. Don't forget to contribute to local charities and small businesses, as they are the foundation of this exquisite island.
