Welcome to the Isle of Wight

School's out for summer and there's plenty to see and do on the Isle of Wight to occupy children of all ages. If it's traditional entertainment you're after, then head to the beach to find Punch & Judy shows and sandcastle competitions, or just relax in a deck chair with a good book and watch the yachts go sailing by.
