Lake is a large village and civil parish located on Sandown Bay, on the Isle of Wight, England.

[3] Lake is named after the Old English "Lacu"[citation needed] referring to the creek that ran along, and has been artificially widened into what is now Scotchells Brook, which is between the Isle of Wight Airport, the Morrisons Superstore and the Spithead Industrial Park.

[4] However, the village war memorial, constructed in 1920,[4] has been relocated behind the Fairway Bus Shelter due to having been run down twice by carelessly driven lorries.

Lake is a seaside village situated above the cliffs on Sandown bay, it stands at an elevation of 63 feet (19 m) above sea-level.

Local wildlife includes Pipistrelle bats at Los Altos, kestrels along the Cliff Path and Common Toads which spawn in the disused reservoir behind the Mall.
