Seaview
Seaview is a small Edwardian resort situated on the north-eastern corner of the Isle of Wight, ignoring the Solent. The town is preferred with travelers and is 2 1/3 miles (3.8 kilometres) from the community of Ryde, where most travelers reach the island by ferry or hovercraft. Together with Nettlestone, it creates a civil parish of Nettlestone as well as Seaview. The High Street is perpendicular to the coast. On the seafront lies the Old Fort pub, an alcohol consumption place preferred with both residents as well as summer season visitors. The Salterns Cottages used to house salt pan workers. One road is named Rope Walk because long areas of rope for rigging ships were set out there. The well-known Priory Bay is about a ten-minute walk from the town. This stretch of beach can only be gotten to at low tide. It is full of white sand as well as provides excellent swimming conditions. Furthermore, Seagrove Bay, between the town and also Priory Bay, is fairly prominent. Several of the largest houses in the area are along Pier Road and Bluett Avenue, and this is partly responsible for the nickname "millionaires avenues". Better large period homes, currently greatly split into flats, can be discovered in Ryde Road. In 1870, Augustus Gough-Calthorpe, sixth Baron Calthorpe, had a French Renaissance style home, Woodlands Vale, built by Samuel Sanders Teulon. The neighboring Calthorpe Road is named after the family. Seaview has many vacation residences consisting of some with sea views. This brings about a seasonal variation in the activity in the village - with many second-home owners visiting just in the summer season or holiday periods.

There is a pub, pizza place, coffee shop, stationery shop, pharmacologist, Post office, Community grocery store shop, Beauty Clinic, seaside clothes shop, biltong shop and also an art gallery.
