For many, Easter is all about chocolate and bunnies. Here on the Isle of Wight, we think that it’s the first ‘proper’ holiday of the year and what better place to spend it than here with your friends and family!
With its miles of coastal paths, cycle tracks, downs and wide-open spaces not to mention stunning views and beaches, there’s no excuse not to get out and about at Easter. Bring your bike and your trainers and enjoy all that the Island has to offer – we’re known as one of the sunniest places in Britain. Follow the Red Squirrel Trail or the pier to pier between Sandown and Shanklin and enjoy the first ice cream of the season.

Many Island attractions have special Easter events ranging from train rides through the countryside to lamb feeding and of course Easter bunnies and plenty of chocolate. Or you can get a taste of history around the Island at Queen Victoria’s holiday home, Osborne House, climb the battlements at Carisbrooke Castle or head to one of our family adventure parks – Blackgang Chine, Robin Hill and The Needles Landmark Attraction.
For nature lovers, spring and Easter see an abundance of flowers and the Island’s nature reserves and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty are filled with a multitude of bird species, red squirrels and flora. Go beachcombing along the vast stretches of the Island’s beaches and see if you can find a fossil or maybe some dinosaur footprints. Or bring your wetsuit and board and go kitesurfing or body boarding.
If you’re a foodie, then the Island will be a small slice of food heaven for you with restaurants and pubs using the best of the Isle of Wight fresh spring produce to delight your taste buds with many offering special Easter menus to showcase not just their own talents but to let you really ‘taste the Wight’. Enjoy fresh fish, the now (almost) legendary Isle of Wight tomato and wines, beers and spirits brewed locally.

Whatever you decide you want your Easter holiday to be, we are sure that there’s something for everyone here on the Isle of Wight for young and old alike. Many parts of the Island’s beaches are dog friendly as are most pubs and some restaurants so bring Fido along for the ride and discover just how wonderful a UK staycation can be.
However you’re travelling, it couldn’t be easier to get to the Isle of Wight via Lymington, Southampton, Southsea or Portsmouth. There are regular rail connections to the south coast via SWR.
Travelling as a foot passenger is simple due to our excellent transport links with trains, buses, foot passenger ferries and our hovercraft service. Our friendly and knowledgeable Travel Ambassadors are on hand to help you decide where to go, what to see, and of course how to get there using sustainable transport – meaning you’ll also be helping us to protect our environment too.
