The Beach Shack

4.5(576 reviews)

About

Found on Isle of Wight, The Beach Shack sits on Western Esplanade in Sandown, right by the town's seafront.

Sandown is one of the island's main resorts, and the venue's position on the esplanade places it within easy reach of Newport, Ryde, Cowes, Shanklin, Ventnor, Freshwater and Yarmouth by road. It operates as a café and opens from 10:00 to 16:00, so visits fit around a day on the coast. A rating of 4.5 out of 5 from 576 reviews marks it as one of the more reviewed spots of its kind on the island.

The website at http://www.beachshackbar.co.uk/ carries details for planning a stop. Sandown's seafront location means the venue draws visitors throughout the summer season.

Summer brings long daylight hours and crowded ferries, so crossings fill quickly in the warmer months. Island life centres on harbours, lifeboat stations and the RNLI, with regattas and fetes in summer. Grey seals breed around British island coasts, and basking sharks appear in summer surface waters.
