Seaview is a small village located on the North East corner of the Isle Of Wight . A fifteen minute drive from local town Ryde, where people are delivered to if coming by Seacat or Hover. The village is centred around the High Street which has the top star place to stay the Seaview Hotel and the all infamous Thai restaurante. The High Street is perpendicular to the sea front. On the 'front' is located the pub 'The Old Fort' for popular drinking in the summer and a great selection of curries on a Wednesday. The village spirit is mainly in the Seaview Yacht Club founded in 1895. This is where village residents come to socialise and take part in one part or another in sailing. The club is to one side of Seaview and on the front. Many traditional activities take part off the Seaview Yacht Club in the summer; the greasy pole where people line up and see how far they can slide along a pole covered in grease. Once they have slipped off it is a drop into the sea below. There is also the Diving compatition where contestants are awarded points for stance, accuracy and trick. Off the shore there are hundreds of boats. They are mainly Seaview's one design sailing boats called Seaview Dingy's. There are also many different types of motor boats. Every year there are a couple of people who try to out compete the others to get the biggest boat. Currently the holder is Mr Abramovich. The High Street is situated in such a way when looking down it (as it goes down a hill) you will get a great sea views looking out onto 'No Man's Land Fort', which is in the middle of the solent. The village is proud ownership of the well-known Priory Bay. It is approximately five minutes walk from the village. This stretch of beach can only be reached at low tide and is filled with white sand and beautiful swimming conditions. In the summer people drive their motor boats round and set up barbacues for lunch. Seagrove Bay is a popular bay, with some of the largest houses in the village. The village is very lively in the summer months of July and August. To the youth it is known as the Cornwall of the South and many teenages flock there to have a good time. At night such activities as drinking sessions down on the front, pool parties at Nelson's and raves at Jack's Exchange are just some of the things that the youth get up to. The older flock go to the pub which is right on the front and live bands take place there regulary. Annual parties are held at the Yahcht Club for young and old. This is a great place to come in the summer but you can never come and not take the odd skinny dip or streak round the village when drunk. It is filled with flare and fun and many enjoy coming here annually. |
