WELCOME TO VENTNOR BEACH
Ventnor is a sun trapped bay sheltered by high cliffs on which the Victorian terraced
town is built. A steep road winds down from the town past the famous cascade
gardens to the seafront. This beach is maintained to the highest standard
and is observed by the local longshoreman for its visitors safety.
Ventnor is suitable for families of all ages and is popular for residents
and visitors alike. Water Sports are not a suitable activity for this area.
There are many hidden rocks and the tide is very strong.
During the summer season Ventnor beach is litter picked on a daily basis.
The Marine Conservation Society also undertake cleaning at this area, which
enable them to monitor the waste and research its origin. Emergency
equipment such as Lifebelts and an emergency telephone are strategically
located along the Esplanade in order to ensure safety at any time of the
year. The Inshore Rescue is also close at hand and are always on call
by the Coastguard.
Since 1996 Ventnor has not only been able to fly the Seaside Award Flag but
has also been successful in displaying its Water Quality award.
Like anywhere, Ventnor has its natural hazards so be sure to read the safety
guidelines and have a good time. Information is provided at each area so check
the tide timetables to ensure your own safety and where appropriate do not
swim when the Red Flag is flying.
