I would check this "5 mins walk". If they are in the centre of Shanklin they will find it quite a climb from Esplanade back to base. The lift was not working when I was there a couple of weeks ago. There are plenty of eating places both on the Esplanade and in the centre but some are quite pricey.

The waterfront on the esplanade is quite nice, right by the sea. There is a bus up and down the hill. The crab inn at the old village not too bad.

The "Shanklin Steamer" between town centre and Esplanade runs only up to 5:30 pm and does not begin operation until 26 June. The only bus at present is the "Coaster" with one morning and one evening journey to the Espalande at cost of £ 10 fare.
