Freshwater and Freshwater Bay, Isle of Wight are located on the West of the Isle of Wight and are located within a short walk of each other.
Freshwater Bay is the location for one of the most iconic images of the Island, the great white cliffs rising vertically behind a shallow emerald bay. In the summer this is a popular bathing beach and the water temperature can be unexpectedly warm. Either side of Freshwater Bay runs the Tennyson trail which will take you West to Alum Bay and the Needles or East to Carisbrooke and the famous castle there.
Freshwater town is a friendly place with welcoming people and good services. You will find a supermarket and garden centre as well as many specialist shops. There is also a public sport centre and swimming pool for days with less clement weather.

Isle of Wight Beaches

 Shallow bay on the West of the Isle of Wight and offering dramatic views of the coast
 This sand and shingle beach is a delightful destination all year round due to the dramatic scenery and the rock formations at either end. In the Summer it is regarded as the most popular beach on the West of the Isle of Wight but still never gets really busy as you would find on the East of the Isle of Wight.

Pubic Houses on the Isle of Wight
|
An amazing pub which you will recommend to everyone
 A delightful place to have lunch or dinner on the West side of the Isle of Wight and only a small detour when walking along the Tennyson Downs or around Freshwater and Alum Bay. The Highdown still draws a crowd due to an excellent reputation for it's food and because it combines an authentically friendly atmosphere and charming traditional public house feel. The menu of specials is chalked up on the wall and offers inovative and mouth watering dishes which take full advantage of local produce and fish.
