Sand Shop

Queen Victoria heard about the enchanting coloured sands at Alum Bay whilst she was holidaying at Osborne House and was presented with samples in glass containers. This began a very special souvenir tradition that still enthrals visitors today. Many people remember visiting the Isle of Wight as a child and filling their very own sand souvenir.

The sand shop remains a firm favourite and you can choose from a variety of shapes to fill yourself with the 21* shades of Alum Bay Sand or you can buy a ready filled item with fancy patterns create by our very own sand expert.

*please note there may not always be 21 shades of sand available.
