The Isle of Wight features many spectacular beaches. Some are more pebbly and not great for running, while others have lovely aprons of firm sand, particularly at low tide. Here are some of our favorite Isle of Wight beaches for running:
Sandown/Yaverland Beaches. Wide sandy beaches in this area. Can combine with a nice paved esplanade in the area. Several miles possible here, depending on season & tides.
Ryde Beach. Wonderful sand beach can extend for a few miles, especially at low tide. Fun to combine with a jaunt out Ryde Pier and the beautiful paved esplanade that goes for 2.5 miles to Seaview.
Compton Beach. 2-3 miles of wide, sandy beach, headed a bit south of Compton Beach and then north toward Freshwater Bay. Can be combined with the clifftop ‘downlands’ in this Area of Outsdanding Natural Beauty, which is gorgeous.
