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 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 then a short trip
across the Solent to Gunwharf Quays attracts 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
