About This Place

Appley Beach in Ryde is one of the best family-friendly beaches on the Isle of Wight. It’s wide expanse of golden sand with shallow waters that are great for paddling and swimming. At low tide, the sea retreats for what seems like miles, revealing even more space for walking and beach games. --> The backdrop of the beach is lined with a mix of green parkland and trees, giving it a relaxed, almost rural feel. One of the beach’s most recognisable landmarks is Appley Tower, a Gothic-style folly set on the promenade. There’s also a café, toilets, and a play area nearby, making it a convenient spot for families. The coastal path running along the beach, connects it to Ryde and Puckpool Park, a short walk away.
