Totland Bay
Totland Bay is a bay on the west coastline of the Isle of Wight, England. It exists one-quarter of an mile (0.4 km) to the west of the village of Totland where it takes its name. It faces north west as well as has a 2.5-mile-long (4.0 kilometres) shoreline and also is comprised of a straight west encountering shore which has a coastline, concrete seawall, groynes as well as run-down 450-foot-long (140 m) Victorian pier as well as a straight north facing rough coastline. It extends from Warden Point in the north to Hatherwood Point in the south-west. The seabed is a mix of mud as well as sand, free from many underwater outcrops, this makes it a prominent anchorage factor for vessels. The coastline is primarily shingle. Given that 2001 the high quality of the coastline has been high enough for it to be granted the Seaside Award Flag. In the summer, trash and algae are removed daily, with the latter being composted by local farmers. Currently, the pier is being reconditioned to re-open the cafe which was there before. The bay is best seen from Headon Warren or anywhere along the concrete seawall. The Isle of Wight Coastal Path runs along the seawall from Warden Point to Widdick Chine.
