From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Sandown is a seaside resort town on the east coast of the Isle of Wight, England, neighbouring Shanklin to the south.
It is most notable for its chalk cliffs where a number of unusual ant species live, including the semi-myrmecophillous Solenopsis fugax (Latr.), which was recorded there several times by Horace Donisthorpe.
Ponera coartata has also been taken from this location.
