Lake Station opened in 1987 and is the penultimate station on the Island's railway line which runs between Ryde Pier Head and Shanklin. Steam Railway at Smallbrook Junction. Lake is on the main bus route and Sandown Airport, for light aircraft only, is just under one mile away. It is reached from the Cliff Path by a sloping footpath, or, also on foot, along the revetment, from Sandown or Shanklin. There are two small cafes, public toilets and, at the Shanklin end, a water sports centre.
Beach huts are available for hire.
Lake cliffs are home to kestrels, fulmar petrels and swifts and cormorants can sometimes be seen. The Cliff Path affords an easy stroll between Sandown and Shanklin, and for the more enthusiastic walker forms part of the Island's Coastal Path.
