Compton Beach has broad sands at low tide beneath layered cliffs. Freshwater Bay is a separate stop with a sheltered-looking curve of shoreline framed by chalk headlands.<\/p>

Plan your visit<\/h2>

Check tides and access before you go, and keep clear of cliff edges and cliff bases. Check parking separately for Compton and Freshwater Bay. Visitor information<\/a>.<\/p>

Explore Compton at low tide<\/h2>

Compton is the stop for a long walk on the sand. The cliffs are part of the island\u2019s fossil-rich coastline, and the Natural History Museum\u2019s island guide<\/a> explains what has been found here. Keep clear of the cliff base and leave time to get back before the tide comes in.<\/p>
