Seagrove Beach
A beautiful beach that is known for being the most popular or the area, partly due to its gently sloping sands which are ideal for swimming or beach games when the tide is out. From here you can walk along the sea wall from Seagrove to Priory Bay Beach which is a very popular sandy beach with great views. It is also used as a launch platform for boats as well as being the ideal place for watersports. For those who like to spend time out on the water, Seaview is a perfect choice and has a welcoming yacht club.
Springvale Beach
Known for having some of the best views on the island, with a panorama including Portsmouth and the Spinnaker Tower and the famous Solent forts, Springvale is the perfect place to spend lazy days at the beach. Stretching from Puckpool to Seaview, it is a mixture of sand and shingle and the gradient of the beach makes the almost crystal-clear water quite shallow at both low and high tide. This undiscovered gem is perfect for those looking for a secret hideaway away from the crowds.
Puckpool Park
Built within a former Victorian Fortification Battery, and situated to the rear of Springvale Beach, this park makes a lovely family day out. There are tennis courts, mini-golf and a children’s play area, and beautiful gardens to walk around or relax in if you are looking for a little tranquility. If you are peckish, there is a great Tea Garden Café where you can take a well earned rest or stroll on a little further to The Deli Café where the crab sandwiches are apparently the best ever!
