Wild swimming
Ryde, Fishbourne and Seaview all have great sea spots to swim outside, as does Sandown Bay (with lifeguards) and Newton Creek. And if you can brave the cold, then Blackgang Naturist Beach is the place to be if you really want to feel the freedom.

Yes you can actually walk around the whole of the Isle of Wight as part of a long, long day if you’re feeling like a real challenge.
Best to do near mid-summer so you have enough daylight, this 70 mile massive walk along the entire coastal path is another bucket list item of mine
