Second visit to Sandown and second trip the Beach Cafe. What can I say that hasn't been said already? In an area of burgers, hot dogs and candy floss, this place is a gem, a must visit. Had two extremely good meals here. We forgot to take cash and they do not take card, so they let us have a... More

We had crab cakes with salad and a BLT baguette. Both were very good and served with a smile. A hundred yards or so west of the pier on the under cliff walk. Tables and chairs outside just above the beach. More

At £13.95, the Seafood Platter for Two was superb. I am a big eater and I am always cautious about 'for two' dishes, but I shouldn't have worried as there was plenty for me and my wife. Topped off with a Crabbies Ginger Beer or a pint of lager and combined with the excellent beach front location, it doesn't get... More

Nice wee beach side shack serving good seafood within a stones throw of the water. Crabcakes were authentic and delicious, voted best on the island two years in a row apparently. Salt and pepper squid delivered on taste and came with a mound of salad. Certainly worth a look if you find yourself in Sandown searching for taste beyond the... More

On a quiet Friday, we searched high and low for a decent lunch in Sandown. Down along the beach, hidden in the corner is this little gem, The Beach Shack. Simple chairs and tables line the walkway by the beach. The service is friendly, the food is fresh and honest and the view of the sea is fantastic. Well worth... More
