Sandown is a popular seaside resort on the south-east coast of the Isle of Wight with an easily accessible sandy shoreline with beaches that run continuously from the cliffs at Battery Gardens in the south to Yaverland in the north.
The town grew as a Victorian resort surrounded by a wealth of natural features. It is a concordant coastline with five miles of well-developed tidal beaches - part of Sandown Bay.
The area's sub-littoral zone, including the reefs and seabed, is a Special Area of Conservation. At very low tides a petrified forest is revealed in the northern part of the bay. Fossils and pertrified wood fragments are frequently found on the shore.
