A great spot to view the hovercraft as it takes off and lands (though you might get sprayed if the wind's blowing your way). The hovercraft was invented on the Island by Sir Christopher Cockerell and provides an alternative to one of the longest piers in the country to span the gap between the town and the sea at low tide.
