Shanklin is one of the Isle of Wight's classic seaside towns, sitting snugly on the island's southeast coast. It's the kind of place that effortlessly blends old-school charm with a bit of modern energy. Known for its long sandy beach, pretty esplanade, and thatched cottages in the Old Village, it draws a steady stream of holidaymakers who fancy a relaxed break by the sea. There's something comforting about the place – a slower pace, friendly faces, and views that never get old.

The town really started to grow in the early 19th century, helped along by the Victorians and their love of sea air and coastal views. With the arrival of the railway in the mid-1800s, Shanklin blossomed as a resort, packed with elegant guesthouses and neat promenades. These days, the population is around 9,000, but that swells in summer when the town comes to life with visitors strolling through the Old Village or heading down to the beach for ice cream and sunbathing.

Shanklin's main draw is its beach, with soft sand and a gently sloping bay that's perfect for paddling. The esplanade's full of arcades, cafés and family-friendly spots, while Shanklin Chine – a deep, lush gorge with walkways, waterfalls and history tucked in every corner – is a proper gem. The Old Village is full of character too, with little tea rooms, gift shops and pubs dotted between thatched roofs and wisteria-covered walls. Just outside town, you'll find English Heritage's Appuldurcombe House, and Ventnor Botanic Garden isn't far either. If you fancy a scenic wander, the cliff path to Sandown is a cracker.

Across the rest of the Isle of Wight, there's no shortage of sights and walks. Osborne House, once Queen Victoria's holiday home, is a must-see up near East Cowes. You've got The Needles over on the western tip – dramatic, windswept and ideal for a bit of adventure. Godshill, with its old cottages and miniature village, is a favourite inland, and Carisbrooke Castle near Newport gives you a proper taste of the island's layered history. There's wildlife aplenty, plus plenty of quiet coves and coastal paths if you're after space and sea breeze.

Getting to Shanklin is fairly simple. You can hop on a ferry from the mainland to Ryde, Fishbourne or Cowes, and then connect by road or train. The Island Line rail service links Ryde to Shanklin in under half an hour – handy and scenic. If you're driving, the island's roads are easy to follow, and if you prefer buses, there's a solid network with regular routes. The nearest airport is Southampton, with train and ferry links that'll get you to the island in good time.

The Isle of Wight itself has always stood a bit apart – literally and figuratively. It's a county all on its own, with a pace and personality that feels distinctly different from the mainland. There's a real sense of pride among locals, with strong ties to community, nature, and heritage. The landscapes range from sweeping beaches and craggy cliffs to rolling downs and peaceful woodlands. It's easy to see why so many people come for a short stay and end up coming back year after year.
