  • Take a trip to the Needles - admire the stunning cliffs and maybe go for a cliff walk. This can take around half a day.
  • Visit Carisbrooke Castle – a historic castle dating back to the Norman Era. Take a guided tour and experience the history of the castle. Allow at least 2-3 hours for the visit.
  • Relax on the beach - spend some time soaking up the sun and enjoying the sand and sea. This can take as long as you'd like!

For places to stay, there are various options including:

  • The Duke of York - a historic, family-run hotel with sea views.
