Presented by Dick Strawbridge, this new exhibition takes us on a journey to discover the secrets of our stunning and surprising coast. The best bit of any island is the edge and here you are at Blackgang where the land meets the sea and the adventure begins. Join Dick Strawbridge as we investigate the incredible goings-on that have made us the people that we are. This is the journey of our Island's life time - This is Coast!

Included in this new exhibition is the story of the dramatic cliff falls and erosion that have caused Blackgang to be a disappearing Village as well as the incredible Victorian whale skeleton display!
