About the Region

Ryde:
At the northeast corner of the Island is Ryde, with its miles of glorious golden sand and shallow coastal waters. The Esplanade has a marina, beautiful gardens and a majestic promenade stretching the entire length of the beach front with stunning views of the Solent and mainland.

Seaview, St Helens and Bembridge:
The beautiful villages of Seaview, St Helens and Bembridge can be found just down the coast from Ryde. Seaview, with its quaint shops and restaurants, has a pebble and sand beach perfect for rock-pooling and lazy family days. With a great choice of restaurants, St Helens is situated around a large village green and boasts a family friendly beach. From here a natural and working harbour, lined with ornate houseboats, leads into Bembridge village. Bembridge also boasts an array of charming shops and wonderful restaurants as well as the only remaining windmill on the Isle of Wight, dating from around 1700.

Sandown, Shanklin:
From Bembridge the beach stretches for miles with an unspoilt beauty, and a 5 mile coastal walk takes you to Sandown, the largest town in the bay with miles of golden sandy beaches and family attractions. Nearby Shanklin has one of the best water-sports centres in the country where you can learn to windsurf, sail, surf and much more. The old village and the chine are among its main attractions along with its sandy beach.

Ventnor :
On the south side of the Island is Ventnor, a small Victorian town built on a hillside. Nestled at its foot is Ventnor beach, a beautiful, clear-watered cove. Ventnor has its own micro-climate making it one of the sunniest spots in the UK.

Freshwater Bay, Alum Bay and Needles:
The west side of the Island is less densely populated and is made up of beautiful National Trust coastline and land. Steeped in history, the west tip of the Island is a fascinating place to visit. Over centuries the area has inspired many famous poets, artists and scientists with its rolling downlands and dramatic vistas. Freshwater Bay and Alum Bay are both pretty coves, flanked by steep chalk cliffs. Further to the west the spectacular Needles can be found, the Island’s most recognisable landmark.

Yarmouth: 
On the north west side of the island is the picturesque port of Yarmouth. This bustling town has grown up as a result of its natural harbour, which is guarded by Yarmouth Castle. Yarmouth also has a varied range of shops, delightful eating establishments and a unique 700ft long timber pier dating from 1876.

Cowes & East Cowes, Newport:
At the northern tip of the Island are Cowes & East Cowes, separated by the River Medina, which leads down to Newport, the Island's capital and largest town. Best known as the world's premier yachting centre, Cowes is the Island's main port and has an array of fashionable clothing shops, gift shops, delicatessens, cafes, restaurants and lively pubs. East Cowes is best known for its industrial heritage and for the fact that Queen Victoria lived at Osborne House which is a short distance from the centre of the town.

Rural Wight:
Although many visitors come to the Island for the coastline & beaches, the Island can also boast stunning scenery inland. With idyllic rural villages, wonderful woodlands, hundreds of miles of walking and cosy country pubs, there is always plenty to explore.
