If sunbathing and sandcastle building is your thing, the sandy shorelines of Ryde and Sandown Beach are the place for you. Ryde offers spacious pickings, with the warmest bathing waters on the island. Sandown Bay has miles of golden sand, a pier, and eclectic seafront to enjoy.

Activities

Take a walk on the wild side this summer by participating in some of the many fun activities found inland on the Isle of Wight. Go wild and play a round of crazy golf, or team up with your family and friends and take on an outdoor obstacle course.

If the water is more of your thing, find your sea legs and take in the sights with a chartered boat trip around the glorious coastline, or make waves by trying a new water sport such as surfing or bodyboarding.

Food and Drink

Finding a great place to stop for a light bite to eat or a thirst-quenching drink isn’t a difficult task on the Island. With a variety of restaurants and beach side cafes to choose from, you’ll never be far from some delicious food and a refreshing drink.
