Amusements.

While Beachlands is close by and also has Parking available.

The Island has a large Beach, now mainly shingle covered around the main areas but still offers a Large SAND Beach on the West Coast close to the Ferry Boat Inn. Parking in this area is also available but food stalls are a bit sparse.

The Island is also said to be one of the best Wind Surfing areas on the South Coast. Strong tide's and good winds also mean that swimming can only take place along the centre of the Island. Yes close to the fair..
