Shanklin is great for all. There are two long beaches and access to the Cliff Path. Regent Street and the Old Village have a range of small shops and there are a good number of cafes, pubs and restaurants catering for all different tastes. Whilst quiet and relaxing out of season, Shanklin is busier during the summer but not a loud, party type venue. The seafront has a great activity centre that children of all ages will love.Shanklin Chine is a beautiful historic gorge, full of natural beauty which also boasts a visitor centre with lots of information on the history of the area. Shanklin is also a good central location for exploring further afield - the pretty villages, museums and places of interest and activities for children, as well as all the beautiful walks and scenery the Island is famed for.
