The pier has been used by residents and holiday makers for many years. It was made famous by the film Tommy when it burnt down during filming! It stood empty for a while but is open again now and houses the famous Gaiety Bar and an amazing fish and chip restaurant. Check it out and try your luck at the slot machines or grab an ice-cream and have a wonder round and look at the view across the Solent to the Isle of Wight.

Sunbathing
This a great spot when the sun is out as the 'Walls' protect you from the wind and it can get really warm. It is also a fab place to watch the ships and boats come and go as this is right at the tip of the harbour mouth. You may be lucky and even see the Navy ships or the huge Virgin Cruise liner.
Nearby are the little artisan shops in the arches of the Walls. Have a browse and find some interesting unique artefacts and gifts.

Food scene
Why not hop over the Green opposite the apartment and take a flight on the hovercraft? The beaches over there are stunning and there are regular buses all around the island. The car ferry is only 5 minutes away if you fancy taking the car and exploring. Go and see Osborne House or Carisbrooke Castle or just enjoy the feeling of stepping back in time!

The best place to eat on the Seafront and right on the beach with views out to the Isle of Wight. The cafe serves an original and great-tasting menu and is a wonderful venue for breakfast through to evening cocktails; (booking is recommended though as it gets very busy).
