Accessible Beaches on the Isle of Wight

The following info is from the Visit Isle of Wight website and others, please use the links (if there is one) to go to that site to get the most up to date and additional information. Sadly extensive research failed to find much on beach accessibility for the island - After a decade of the Equality Act it is still much easier to find out if you can take a dog onto a beach than it is a wheelchair!
