of Wight Beaches
Generally the beaches on the Isle of Wight are
healthy beaches. The west wight beaches are surrounded by only very
small towns and villages, and there was a very large project a few
years ago by the water authority to put new sewage piping around the
island to collect and process sewage to modern hygiene standards. Nearest Beach is Brighstone Bay but there is
minimal out of season roadside parking. Brook beach (not quite as
famous as Compton but quieter and adjoins
Compton); both Compton and Brook have National Trust Car Parks -
Compton has an Ice Cream Van that sells some food. Both these beaches have plenty of space even in high
summer, Compton has an overflow car park, also free parking on verge
just off road - just don't leave any part of car over road to avoid any
possible problem with police.
