The island has an amazing choice of beaches! From the popular Ryde, Sandown and Shanklin, to the quiet Compton and Castlehaven Island Beaches L'isola ha oltre 57 miglia di costa, la maggior parte accessibile. In totale l'isola ha 17 spiagge con bandiera blu, il che significa che sono di alto livello. Le spiagge di Ryde, Shanklin e Sandown sono sabbiose con ottimi servizi sulla spiaggia. La spiaggia di Ventnor è prevalentemente di ciottoli, ma vale comunque la pena visitarla. In estate queste spiagge sono molto frequentate, quindi se stai cercando una gita in spiaggia più tranquilla perché non visitare le spiagge sul lato occidentale dell'isola. Questi sono sicuri e puliti, ma alcuni sono isolati da città e villaggi. Qualunque sia la spiaggia che hai scelto, ti divertirai sicuramente.

It may be winter but there is still plenty to do on the Isle of Wight! Winter Season L'Isola di Wight è uno dei posti migliori al mondo per i ritrovamenti di dinosauri! La geologia dell'isola è la ragione principale dei ritrovamenti fossili. La costa da Sandown a West Wight è costituita da argilla tenera, che conserva i fossili, ma provoca anche la grave erosione che espone i fossili. Il dinosauro più comune da trovare sull'isola è l'Iguanodonte. Puoi persino vedere le impronte a Compton con la bassa marea.
