There are numerous carnivals, regattas and festivals taking place in most of the main resorts as well as the world reknown Cowes week in August for keen sailing enthusiasts and for spectators alike.
From the dramatic coastline of the Needles and Freshwater to the golden award winning blue flag beaches of Sandown and Shanklin, from the numerous pretty villages with thatched cottages to the grandeur of the historic Osbourne House and Carisbrooke Castle, there is so much to explore whatever the weather,

Guestbook for Beach Haven
Hi Gillian, I just wanted to send you a quick message thanking you. We had a lovely holiday the bungalow was really great and the extra touches were really appreciated. I have already recommended you to family and friends and we hope to deal with you in the future as there is so much more on the Isle of Wight that we want to see and do and we would want to stay in the bungalow again. Once again many thanks you and your Brother have been a pleasure to deal with. Kind regards L. Watson and family.
Dear Ms Barnes
We had a really nice holiday, just 2 damp days, so plenty of beach time and a few attractions. We really liked the house and the huge garden, and trying the badminton set, and hearing the tigers roaring from the zoo in the evening etc. So thank you very much, we were very impressed with all that was provided too.
With best wishes,
F. Eridani Ball
Gill just to say what a lovely time we had in your house and that we will be booking time there again.
