Great north facing beach (more sun) - when it's calm it's just magical. Like a swimming pool and close for snacks! Head to the end near the Cowes Yacht Club (left) for extra tranquility.

Wait for low tide and get out to what the locals call 'Tahiti' (it's around the corner) - it's a massive sand bank that appears in the middle of the ocean. Just get back to land before the tide comes back in!

This is a quiet end of the beach if you want to escape the crowds - easy by car or bike.

Great surf beach and hang. Good for beginners and they always do beginners surf lessons here that are well organised by the local surf shop. The Smith's Beach General Store does good shakes too.

A smaller island next to an island. It's really quaint and great for a loop walk with good views. Big animal farm and historic house which is still a working farm. Animals everywhere! Watch out for the Saturday Farmer's Market here which adds to the atmosphere.

A serious surf beach. Big on atmosphere and true beach scenery. The walk around the headland offers the best views on the island with views back to San Remo and Newhaven - super special. It's an easy to moderate walk as well.

Unreal coffee - nice to hang in laneway or get a coffee on the go. If you are hungry for a quick lunch, their toasties are worth it.

Yes there is a Chocolate Factory for you chocoholics, but there is also a great Pie Shop located at the Newhaven shops (interior is average), but the pies are good! It's just a nice jetty to walk out on to get some scenery with the island bridge in the background. Popular with fishing also.

Just been revamped with a really nice outdoor area - ideal for hot summer evenings. Pizza isn't bad either. If you are Gluten free, then they have bases there.

Beeeeerrrrr. Actually it has some beautiful craft beers - my fav being the sour variety (peach & cherry). Sit outside on the street and people watch. The food menu is great for lunch - think pub meals.
