About Us Here at Totally IOW we want to showcase the very best the island has to offer! Started in 2010, the site has grown to show everything from attractions, events and travel. There is much more planned in the future to give every visitor to the site as much information about the Isle of Wight! The site has a large social media presence on all the major sites like Twitter and Facebook! We hope you enjoy your trip to the Isle of Wight 1/5

Beaches The island has over 57 miles of coastline, which most of it is accessible.The beaches at Ryde, Shanklin and Sandown are sandy with brilliant beachside amenities. The beach at Ventnor is mostly shingle but it still well worth a visit. In the summer these beaches get very busy, so if you are after a more quiet beach trip why not visit the beaches on the western side of the island. These are safe and clean but some are isolated from towns and villages. Which ever beach you chose you are guaranteed a great time.

Dinosaurs The Isle of Wight is one of the best places on the planet for Dinosaur finds! The Geology of the island is the main reason for the fossil finds. The coast from Sandown to West Wight is made up of soft clay, which preserves the fossils, but also causes the serious erosion that exposes the fossils. The most common dinosaur to find on the island is the Iguanodon. You can even see the footprints at Compton at low-tide.
