Freshwater and Yarmouth sit on the west of the Isle of Wight with the town of Yarmouth being the port for the Wightlink car ferry. Despite the fact that it is a town, Yarmouth is actually not very big at all with a small population, although they are a welcoming crew! The town has a great pier and a small shingle beach at the side of it. You can walk to Freshwater as well from Yarmouth along the old railway track.
