Geocache Description:


Situated just off Shore Road in Gurnard, this Cache has some spectacular views of the Solent, and is next to a fantastic area for picnics and the like. The Cache is also just up from Gurnard sailing club, and, for those in the know, just off of the "secret beach" (a small path named "shore path" near the club) a perfect place to watch a world class sunsets.

Gurnard Beach is a quaint traditional, pebble and shingle beach, within walking distance of Cowes on the north west coast of the Isle of Wight, with great views across the Solent, and some of the best sunsets you are likely to find!

It is bordered by attractive, municipally owned beach huts, mainly painted green, on its sea wall that are leased locally. Behind the beach huts is a large sloped green with children's playground area.

At the eastern end of the seafront is a popular cafe and restaurant, with a window ice cream service to those using the beach. Here too sits Gurnard Sailing Club where you can become a visiting member for the summer months. Sailing and watersports are popular pastimes at this beach, especially between here and Gurnard Marsh, the next seafront hamlet to the east.     (Taken from Visit Isle of Wight)

As always please be respectful of the area. 

 

Happy hunting!
