There is a secret place of sand and sea and rocks where the sounds of the seashore can lull you to sleep at night. This is Ventnor Bay. Awaken refreshed and ready to explore some of the quiet delights of this beautiful island, the Isle of Wight. Only 100 miles (2½ hours journey) from London and the stress and strain of mainland life. You'll find a warm and friendly welcome awaits at the Picardie Hotel located right on the Esplanade overlooking the beach.
