Wight Water

Wight Water is a beachfront adventure watersports centre at Dunroamin Beach in Lake, between Sandown and Shanklin on the Isle of Wight. The centre provides tuition and equipment hire for a range of activities, including kayaking, paddleboarding, surfing and wing foiling. Sessions are designed for individuals, children, adults, schools and other groups, with an emphasis on making watersports accessible to different ages and levels of experience.

Qualified instructors provide guidance on the water, while safety boats support activities from the shore. The centre places safety at the centre of its approach and works within recognised watersports standards. This makes the setting suitable for families looking to try an activity together, as well as for groups seeking a more structured watersports experience.

Wight Water also has a seafront café, Tradewinds Beach Cafe. Its style is informal and eclectic, with a surf-shack feel that suits the coastal setting. The café serves coffee, freshly squeezed orange juice, draught and bottled beer, wine and ice cream, alongside food such as handmade pizzas and acai or smoothie bowls. Homemade gluten-free cakes, cakes and scones provide options for a lighter stop during a beach day.

Food and drinks can be enjoyed inside the café or outside close to the sands of Sandown Bay. The combination of watersports, beach access and casual café dining gives the centre a broad appeal, from families planning an active day to individuals booking tuition or equipment hire. Gift vouchers are available for courses or hire, making the venue suitable for activity-based presents as well as planned visits.

Enquiries about activities, group arrangements, café matters and gift vouchers can be made directly with the centre. Wight Water is located at Dunroamin Beach Lake, Sandown, Shanklin PO37 6HU, with telephone and email contact available for practical information before arrival.
