Ryde town guide

 

Ryde is a short crossing from Portsmouth or Southsea. With the construction of the pier, in 1814, and the establishment of a regular ferry service in 1825, the town became an elegant Victorian resort.

 

Ryde's main attraction is the miles of glorious golden sand and shallow coastal waters that extend all the way around the coast to Seaview. The tide goes out a long way, leaving firm sand ideal for beach games. The Esplanade has a marina, beautiful gardens and activities for all the family, such as bowling green, children's amusement park, ice rink, tenpin bowling, nightclub, boating lake, swimming pool with retractable roof and the dotto train.

 

Appley beach provides an ideal setting for the beach soccer league every summer.
