Probably the most famous landmark of the Isle of Wight.In October 2001 we stayed in Ryde on the IOW for 5 days Monday to Friday and enjoyed dry sunny weather most of the time. We travelled by coach to Southampton and then by ferry directly to Ryde. See Isle of Wight

|  | The Coastline The coastline is very beautiful all around the island but is suffering from erosion in certain parts. Also around the coast are "chines" (See my Shanklyn Chine tip) |
Multicoloured coastline The island is renowned for its multi-coloured sand along the coastline. The island is very often referred to as the "diamond isle" because of its obvious shape on the map | | |
