A picturesque beach with golden sand and clear blue waters, surrounded by a promenade lined with cafes, restaurants, and shops, offering stunning views of the Solent Strait and the English Channel.
Plenty of activities including two crazy golf courses and a upside down house as well as the arcade. Also places to eat restaurants in the hotels as well as fish and chips from the arcade. The tide does not go out too far so he's a good place. If you don't want to have to walk miles like you may do at ryde.
The esplanade at Shanklin is always worth a visit, even in February. To see and hear the sea is fantastic and life affirming. The amusement arcade was also open, which pleased our daughter, and this was followed by a brief walk along the beach. A lovely couple of hours.
It's small and quaint. Nice walks along a flat promenade, bus shelters to sit and eat your chips or have an ice cream. If you feel energetic, you can walk all the way along the Promenade to Sandown. Outside of this, there is really only one way in and out of the seafront, and that is via a quite steep road. Car Parking for such a small area is usually quite good, although, like anywhere else, when it is very busy, parking can be a challenge.
Lovely beach and waterfront Game zone, gift shop, restaurants, mini golf, chair hire for the beach
Was my first time visiting the island and stopped off at Shanklin, site seeing! Such a great place from the views, arcades, ice cream etc! Was cold and windy but still a laugh, can't wait to come back in the summer!
A lovely open sea front with lots going on. If you park on the main seafront be prepared to pay an arm and a leg. Plenty of amusements and restaurants. Two crazy golf courses are great fun and there are bumper cars and plenty to keep the big and little kids happy.
