Totland Bay

A seaside location, close to downland, cliffs, beaches and quiet country walks. Good ferry and public transport access makes this an ideal base for exploration. Totland is situated in the area known as West Wight, generally recognised as the quietest part of the Isle of Wight. It is an area of outstanding natural beauty, rolling countryside, peaceful forests and the stunning white cliffs of Freshwater Bay. West Wight is a paradise for walkers and cyclists with a vast network of well marked trails and footpaths.

A quiet little bay with beach, safe bathing, small pier, café and restaurant . A favourite with families, especially those with small children. Reached by way of a narrow winding road through low cliffs. Limited parking on foreshore. Large free car park opposite approach road to beach.

Totland is the Western most village on the on the north coast. It lies on the outskirts of Freshwater and due to the growth in population in the West Wight the two now meet.

Totland with its similar architecture grew from mainland visitors building holiday mansions here as their healthy seaside retreats. It is now however populated by "island" people and has schools, churches and a few shops.

Totland beach is still very popular and is especially safe for children. There is a cafe for ice creams and a waterfront restaurant on the seafront. If you walk in a northerly direction there is a coastal walk which takes you round to Colwell Bay.

On the outskirts of Totland to the west is Headen Warren a beautiful area for walking giving you splendid views of The Solent, Alum Bay and the Needles.
