There is much to do on the Isle of Wight, including visiting some of the island's stunning beaches.
TripAdvisor listed Ride Beach as the top beach on the island, saying, “We had a lovely afternoon in the sunlight at Ride Beach. We were busy and not too relaxed, and the beachfront cafe was lovely, clean and welcoming.
Another addition: “First time visit! A lovely clean beach with lots of shells for kids to gather! There were rental beach equipment, chairs, umbrellas, windbreakers and more!
While the third is written, “The beach has nice soft sand and when the tide floats, you can walk very far. The beach is right next to the ferry and train station, very easy to access. There are plenty of restaurants, pubs, shops and public toilets.
Another must-see location is Osborne House, the favorite hideaway of Queen Victoria and her husband Prince Albert.
The royal couple purchased and built the Osborne House to satisfy the Queen's desire to “be their place – quiet and retired” away from the public.
History lovers should visit Charisbrook Castle, which began life as an Anglo-Saxon fortress to protect it from Viking raids. Since then, it has become famous as the destination where King Charles I was imprisoned after his defeat in the British civil war.
