Geoffrey Corder's absorbing Isle of Wight holiday film begins with seashore scenes looking out over the Solent followed by youngsters playing beach cricket. After visiting their holiday guest house we take a trip around Bembridge Harbour - passing many boats and yachts along the way. In East Cowes there is a rare glimpse of the Saunders-Roe factory with two Princess flying boats on the slipways. The film ends on the ferry trip back to Portsmouth where many ships are seen.
