A Shearings self drive holiday to Sandown, on the Isle of Wight, is a fantastic place to go to. The island is located off the south coast of England, just six miles by ferry or hovercraft from Portsmouth. There are lots of things to do and as the island has a 62 mile circumference, it’s a great idea having your own set of wheels to get around.

There are lots of places to stay in Sandown but the Broadway Park Hotel is one of the preferred choices. It comes with a free ferry ride to and from the island, which helps save you money, and is just a short stroll from the seafront and the town centre. It’s a stunning Victorian mansion that has acres of picturesque gardens and stunning views of the nearby greenery. Parking is free of charge and staying at the Broadway Park Hotel allows you to be centrally situated to get around the island more easily.

From Colwell Bay in the northwest to a windsurfer’s paradise in the south at Lake, there are lots of things to do. There are over 60 miles of beaches to seek out and those at the north generally have calmer waters than those facing out to the English Channel. It’s an upmarket but traditional place to visit. With fine dinning restaurants to swanky wine bars and the stunning harbour, there are many areas for the well-heeled clientèle. Being on a Shearings self drive holiday to Sandown means that you can explore the island, visit the many nice places and stop off wherever you like along the way.

There is the Dinosaur Isle Museum or the Fossil Shop for those that love a bit of history, or there is town centre of Cowes which has many shopping opportunities, and creates a perfect mix of activities to do.
