Sandown

The landscape around Sandown is shaped by the broad sandy sweep of Sandown Bay and the chalk slopes of Culver Down, which have shaped both the town’s seafront layout and its long-established resort economy. On the Isle of Wight’s southeast coast, Sandown developed around its beach, sheltered bay and rail connection to the island’s main towns. Victorian Sandown Pier, first opened in 1879, remains a familiar feature of the promenade. The town also hosts Dinosaur Isle, a museum devoted to the island’s fossil record, while the coast towards Yaverland is associated with Cretaceous fossils.
