We love Mudeford!
Would love to go back to Sandown Bay, remember visiting as a child and would love to return with mt kids!
Neffyn for me!
Favourite beach – incredibly hard to choose as different beaches for different reasons. But given this is an IOW competition I’ll choose my favourite beach (for fossil hunting) which is Compton Bay.
Well, I like Hastings and its beach. This is mainly because I don’t actually like beaches, but I do like fresh seafood and watching things like fishing boats. Mind you I have fond memories of the different coloured sands from the Isle of Wight from when I was a kid. Deeply cool to my 10 year old self.
