AN Isle of Wight beach has been rated as one of the top beaches in the world by a national newspaper.

Compton beach made it into the Daily Mail's Travel Mail comprehensive guide of the best beaches. It said: "One of the island’s best-kept secrets, a two-mile stretch of sandy beach near Freshwater, backed by multi-coloured sandstone cliffs."

Other beaches recommended in the guide included Dobrec Beach, Montenegro, Sombrero Beach, Florida Keys, America and Playa de ses Illetes, Formentera, Spain. The only other UK beach listed was Eype Beach in Dorset.
