The Isle of Wight is a tourist destination for many on the south coast. Whether your passion is the outdoors, with beaches, sailing, kite surfing, and hiking on our doorstep, or culture, art, music and festivals, fresh local cuisine, the Isle of Wight has something for everyone. If you enjoy beautiful countryside and beaches that span a 70-mile coastline, coupled with a rich history of multiple architectures then this could be your perfect location.

If retail therapy is more likely to float your boat, discount designer-label shopping is a short trip across the Solent to Gunwharf Quays, or larger shopping centres such as Westquay attract shoppers from far and wide. If you like to travel and explore, ferries from Portsmouth sail to the Channel Islands, France and Spain and cruise ships depart from nearby Southampton to the Mediterranean, Baltic and Nordic seas. Southampton airport is less than 25 miles away, serving destinations across the British Isles and Europe. Trains from Southampton to London take less than 90 minutes.
