Appley Tower beach: Beach Parties in Summertime
This nightime activity happens during the warm Summer nights usually a Sunday when some of the discos close. Walk along the beach daytime and tell all young people to show up about 10 pm or when the pubs close with a bottle of cider and some firewood. There are usually large numbers of foreign students who come to the Island and stay with host families, usually Scandanavian, French, German. 20 years have passed since I was there but follow these instructions and you make your own party unless the County Council have banned beach parties and the local Law enforce the ban.....sorry don't know the situation now. A guitar or a ghetto blaster and make sure you know when the tide goes out and comes in. Don't take deck chairs as that will get you into trouble. Usually there is a big crowd in the Prince Consort Pub which always up for an after pub party. CASUAL but a jacket in case it gets wet...
