Fishing
If you enjoy Fishing as my husband does, there are lots of places to go – Yarmouth Pier, Sandown Pier, Totland and Cowell Bay.

Beaches
If you like a quiet beach without any amusements or to commercialised then I would recommend going to Totland Bay it only has a little shop/restaurant and toilets, also Colewell Bay and the far end of Ryde beach. If you want something with loads to do and full of amusements, café’s, bars and entertainment then go to Sandown, Ryde, Shanklin and Ventnor
