Ventnor beach is truly loved for its Stoney beach , fresh crab and row of seafront pubs . The Isle of Wight shaped paddling pool sits at the bottom of the fresh water cascade . A great place for children to play whilst the adults enjoy a coffee . The spyglass pub is very famous on the island . Great pub food and views across Ventnor bay .
