The island is famous for the Isle of Wight Festival, but off-season, it’s quiet and secluded. This isn’t Ibiza. This is meditation by the sea.
Try the local seafood: oysters, shrimp, and swordfish. They cook simply, so the flavors of the sea aren’t lost.
Wight is ideal for cycling. Rent a bike and ride the Red Squirrel Trail in search of rare squirrels listed as endangered.
There are no airports, large hotels, or noise here. There are seaside cottages, pubs with fireplaces, and a feeling of having found a haven.
The best time is May or September, when the sun is shining but there are few people.
In conclusion, White isn’t about “seeing it all.” He’s about stopping. Come here to remember: sometimes the best journey is simply being.
