Scroll down to read about our most popular group activities in Shanklin.
Shanklin (historically "Chynklyng") is a popular seaside resort on the south-east coast of the Isle of Wight with an easily accessible sandy shoreline and impressive cliffs.
The town is at a much higher level than the beach and esplanade, where visitor attractions such as restaurants, arcades and crazy golf courses await. At the northern end a steep hairpin bend feeds a road and footpath down to the seafront, and the southern end can be reached via Shanklin Chine. In the middle is a unique "Cliff Lift" elevator.
The area was extensively damaged during World War II hence the architecture along the seafront in particular being a mix of styles and ages.
