Travel: Sandown, Isle of Wight, United Kingdom

On South-East coast of Isle-of-Weight and pretty close to Shanklin is this small town on bay. Popular among tourists as a sea side resort and one among the 7 beaches to fly 'Seaside Award Flag' for clean sandy stretched beach and quality of water.









In one of the previous post I mentioned about 'Isle of Weight'. As it is a small place, you have the flexibility to choose a place to stay, either country side or close to the sea. where ever you are, it hardly takes 10-15 minutes to reach sea shore.

Sunderland, United Kingdom

Among the very few places I traveled here in UK, Sunderland is the place which I liked after Cornwall. Cornwall is vast and famous for it's rocky beaches, but Sunderland got a beautiful stretch of sandy beach with high tide during night hitting the city walls on shore.

Historically a part of Durham County, Sunderland lies in the North-East of England on the mouth of river Wear. It emerged as a small fishing village in the Tenth Century and grew as a port. People from this beautiful city are commonly known as 'Mackem'.
