Description
Beautiful sandy beach, sheltered from prevailing winds. Swimming needs to be around High Water - when the tide goes out it's a mile long walk to the sea and its still very shallow when you get there! Great for children and they also love the shallow pools when the tide is out! There are cafes at either end of the bay and toilets and sand play park near Appley Tower. The beach to the west of the tower is dog free from May to September but dogs are permitted on the beach to the east of the tower.
Getting There
Appley car park is pay and display and it's open again now (it was shut last summer!) The first 8 or so spaces opposite the rowing club are free! There are also pay and display spaces all along North Walk from Ryde. Walking distance from Ryde Esplanade, bus and train stations and Hoverport. You can also park at Puckpool Park for easier access to the east of the bay.
Accessibility
Slopes or steps to get onto the lower level sea wall. Currently a short drop down to the beach from there as the sand is quite high. Alternatively for no steps, use the slipway opposite Ryde Inshore Rescue (who also have a little beach shop and selling teas and coffees amongst other things).
