A lovely beach at low tide. At low tide you can also enjoy the walk around the headland to the SE, and you'll find yourself at Priory Bay Beach which is well worth a visit. Leave your bikes on the promenade so they don't get sandy. There are also public loo facilities here. The footpath through towards Seaview asks for you to dismount from your bike and walk. It's only 75m or so. Photo courtesy of Visit Isle of Wight.

The great thing about Seagrove Bay is that you can't get there by car so it is often quieter than other beaches on the island. The water is shallow and often calm so it is a great place for a swim. It is also dog friendly all year round so a perfect place to run with your four legged friends.
