to get to this spot you head down to shanklin espenade, and you will go down a big hill, when you are at the bottom tere will be a car park on your right pull in down there, you will see the bach and to see where it is breackin best you should just have a little wonder around

Shanklin
I used to like surfing the Stinkpot/Hope Beach when I had just started. It gets great shelter and when Compton or Ventnor's like 8ft and blowing a gale or something, go to Shanklin and it's 3-5ft and glassy! But, as everyone knows I'm sure, the crowds are a bit annoying, especially in the summer when the less experienced are out. But if you have just started surfing I recommend this spot to you as it is a mellow, fun, soft wave that is great for beginers.
