Nearest pub
Shanklin Hotel Beach Bar (200 yards)
Open all day, this comfy bar offers pool, music and live sports. Enjoy the view over the bay and relax. Parking is available in the hotel car park and the bar is within easy reach of the beach.
Nearest beach
Small Hope Beach (200 yards)
Situated to the left of Shanklin seafront, this sandy beach is really popular and a safe place for swimming. Beach huts line the cliff side of the sea wall and these can be hired. Amusements, shops and restaurants are close at hand and there's car park nearby. No lifeguard cover is available and dog restrictions apply.
Nearest walk
Groves and Gardens Histree Trail (½ mile)
This trail, kindly available to download from iwight.com, has two distance options; either just over three miles or just over four. You can explore groves, gardens and ancient woodland. You'll find plenty of places to stop off for a break and some lovely views.
Nearest town
Shanklin (¾ mile)
A town so large it is split into two, the old and the new, Shanklin is perched on the south west coast. The new part of town is what you'd expect from a lovely seaside town, with a theatre at its heart that we'd thoroughly recommend. But wander out to the old time and you'll feel a world away - in another century! But in the best possible way, with cream teas and thatched cottages as well as old inns.

The Pointer Inn (2 ¾ miles)
Traditional pub grub but with a difference. Locals are offered a bartering exchange system where they provide local produce in exchange for meals or drinks. Great idea and upholds their intent to use local products. A garden with views across the downs and a large terrace are available for summer dining. Child and dog friendly. You may wish to book; this is a very popular place.

This is a beautiful traditional pub that serves excellent food and has staff that will go the extra mile. I love that you can order some of the dishes from the menu as a smaller portion so there is no food waste. All food is locally sourced and they can even tell you the name of the person who grew it!
The Taverners (3 ½ miles)
A traditional country pub which uses local produce and even its own home grown herbs from a vegetable patch in the garden. There's a kids play area and a shop selling all sorts of local produce. Dogs are welcome.

A warm welcome
We booked for a meal at The Taverners after first visiting there for a drink earlier in the week. We received a warm friendly welcome and the food was excellent, plenty of choice with daily specials and a bit different to the norm. . The service was excellent and very prompt. Their local brew was also good. I would definitely recommend this establishment and would visit again when I am next on the Isle.
Pirates Cove (200 yards)
Entertainment for all the family; crazy golf, mini go-karts, bumper boats, water zorbs and trampolines. Open til late in the summer, earlier in the winter. Take a pocket full of change for the amusements.
Shanklin Beach (300 yards)
A safe and sandy beach with lots of nearby parking. A real traditional bucket and spade destination with amusements, crazy golf and go-carting nearby. With a high sea wall and pavement promenade this is an idea place for a stroll with views over the English Channel. Dogs are not allowed between May to the end of September. The beach has life guards during high season.
The Steamer Inn (350 yards)
A popular sea front inn with a large terrace and views across Sandown Bay. Inside the decor is decidedly nautical with a giant propeller by the front door and fisherman's glass floats on the veranda. Children and dogs are welcome. Live music plays and details of this are on their website.
