Ventnor town and esplanade is just over half a mile walk away from Seaport Cottage. Here you will find a number of lovely seaside tea shops, pubs and restaurants dotted along the seafront, including the well-known Spyglass Inn. There are also some quirky and bespoke shops, an award winning park and a children’s paddling pool. The town, which for the most part is built on the steep hill leading to the beach retains its original seaside charm and makes a great day out for all the family. Sheltered from the north by St. Boniface Downs, Ventnor benefits from its own micro-climate, providing an ideal haven for a variety of flora and fauna.
The neighbouring village of Bonchurch lies just to the east of Ventnor and is renowned for its literary connections; writers and poets such as Dickens, Stackpole and Swinburn all resided here at some point in time. Outdoor pursuits on the island are well catered for and include horse riding, fishing, cycling, paragliding, water sports and golf. There are numerous attractions for all ages across the island including The Needles with its chairlift, amusement park, boat rides, lighthouse and coloured sands of Alum Bay.
