Season: summer

With daily beach cleans and excellent bathing water quality, Colwell Bay is a popular water sports destination in West Wight, with a slipway for boat and kayak access.  There are beach huts and deckchairs for hire too, if you’re feeling more sedentary.  Access is good via a promenade and the sea wall that runs down to Totland Bay.  Families are attracted here, with good parking, toilets and a beach cafe.  The setting is topped off by fine views across to the Dorset coast.
