Things to do in Seaview: Puckpool Park. Built within a former Victorian Fortification Battery, and situated to the rear of Springvale Beach, this park makes a lovely family day out. There are tennis courts, mini-golf and a children’s play area, and beautiful gardens to walk around or relax in if you are looking for a little tranquillity.
If you are peckish, there is a great Tea Garden Café where you can grab a bite to eat or a coffee if you need some extra adrenaline for your mini-golf competition! Springvale Beach. Known for having some of the best views on the island, with a panorama including Portsmouth and the Spinnaker Tower and the famous Solent forts, Springvale is the perfect place to spend lazy days at the beach. Stretching from Puckpool to Seaview, it is a mixture of sand and shingle, and the gradient of the beach makes the almost crystal-clear water quite shallow at both low and high tide. This undiscovered gem is perfect for those looking for a secret hideaway away from the crowds.
Just a 10-minute drive away is the seaside resort of Ryde If you fancy enjoying traditional fish and chips at the seaside, Ryde’s got it, but Ryde’s dining out scene has expanded over the past few years. Vegan pizza, gourmet burgers, stylish cocktails? You’ll find them all in Ryde. The range of quality international cuisine from Thai to Turkish mezze, offers more than enough eating out opportunities to last an entire holiday. Beach 1 mile.
