Brook

One of the Island’s best beaches for dinosaur discovery is at Brook, in West Wight, where you can spot fossilised dino footprints at low tide. Slightly further along, at Hanover Point, very low tides also reveal a petrified forest and the shipwreck of the S.S. Carbon steam tug. 

Brook is popular for both swimming and sunbathing and is usually quieter than its neighbouring beach at Compton. Care should be taken in the sea, as it can be rocky in parts.
