The revetment between Shanklin and Sandown is a shared route for walkers and cyclists and is extremely popular with families. It is approximately 2 miles of flat pavement, so it is wheelchair friendly and there are plenty of places to access the stunning beaches for a spot of sunbathing, beach games or a dip in the sea.

Accessed from the car park on Shanklin seafront, the cliff side of the sea wall is lined with colourful beach huts available for hire. Take a moment to fill your lungs with the fresh sea air and enjoy the stunning views of the shoreline as you continue your walk.

As you pass along Small Hope beach, there are several places you can stop to buy an ice cream or a bite to eat, plus a well-deserved drink on your scenic walk around The Bay. Salix Café is situated right on the beach at the end of a row of picturesque beach huts or further along at Dunroamin beach you’ll find the Tradewinds café, there are lots more kiosks and cafés along route, each with spectacular views of Sandown Bay and Culver Cliffs.

Pitch up a spot on the soft golden sand and catch sight of a ship sailing by while your children splash about in the sea and make nostalgic sandcastles. Feeling more adventurous? Take on the sea in adrenaline fuelled sea sports, from banana boating, to kayaking and even paddle boarding.

So next time you are visiting Shanklin, add this walk to your must things to do.
