Little Penguin Dash 2022 Dates, 2km / 800m Swim Event
As Cowes Beach is not affected by the strong off-oceanic currents, this is a safe haven for swimming and other beach activities.
If coming as a spectator, then come and explore the wonderful seaside setting which boasts a tranquil atmosphere with adjacent streets lined with chains of restaurants and shops.
