Isle
of Wight Beaches
Generally the beaches on the Isle of Wight are
healthy beaches. The west wight beaches are surrounded by only very
small towns and villages, and there was a very large project a few
years ago by the water authority to put new sewage piping around the
island to collect and process sewage to modern hygiene standards. Nearest
Beach is Brighstone Bay but there is
minimal out of season roadside parking, there are direct footpaths down
to the beach at the bottom of our road. Brook beach (not quite as
famous as Compton but quieter and adjoins
Compton); both Compton and Brook have National Trust Car Parks -
Compton has an Ice Cream Van that sells some food. Both these beaches have plenty of space even in high
summer, Compton has an overflow car park, but avoid parking on verge
just off road as this is a clearway and police sometimes ticket cars. |
