There's no better place to be than beside the seaside in the summer. And even in Britain you can still find beaches away from the crowds with golden sand.
COMPTON BAY,ISLE OF WIGHT
This wide sandy beach is on the south west coast,between Freshwater and Brook and is part of the
Tennyson Heritage Coast. There are striking views of the white cliffs further along the coast. A coastal
path passes behind the beach,and you can enjoy scenic cliff top walks in either direction.
