There is nothing better than hopping on a boat across the waters and enjoying your summer holidays on the beautiful Isle of Wight. The Isle of Wight is a truly unique place to visit all year round, but during the summer you’d need a good excuse not to visit!
We’ve put together our top things to not miss out on for your UK Staycation.
The island is best known for its 500 miles of glorious coastline and some of the best beaches in the UK! Whether it’s beaches for sitting on, beaches for walking on, beaches for swimming, beaches for surfing, you name it, we probably have a beach for it. Whatever the weather, they are always open.
If taking it leisurely isn’t your style, then take advantage of over 500 miles of walking routes and 200 miles of cycle paths, traversing woodlands, countryside and coast. Hike across our chalk downs, cruise through farmland or stroll along our promenades, there is something for everyone. 50% of the Isle of Wight is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), with the haven of wildlife and breath-taking scenery you are spoilt for choice for natural places to explore.
Got a taste for it after getting your steps in? The Isle of Wight is the perfect foodie-destination to indulge in some of the best dishes that include our famous local produce! From country pubs, family eats, coastal cafes, fine dining and everything in between, you can certainly get your fill with plenty to choose from!
Plus our Apartments are only a short distance from some amazing restaurants and pubs in our local town of Shanklin and along the Seafront, where you can enjoy spectacular views out to sea.
Got Instagram-envy, the perfect remedy is a visit to the Isle of Wight, with a host of places to get that perfect shot; from quaint villages complete with pretty thatched cottages, wild and rugged seas and our spectacular sunsets all make for instagram-worthy snaps to show the folks back home. The Island has recently been placed as the 2nd most popular UK destination for snapping a good picture for Insta and we couldn’t agree more!
Come and enjoy your UK Staycation holiday on the Isle of Wight this summer, really no island comes this close!
Summer here is like no-other, with a whole host of festivals and events, places to eat and things to do for the whole family.
