Island life on the Isle of Wight centres on harbours, lifeboat stations and the RNLI, with regattas and fetes filling the summer months. Smoked fish, island cheeses, fudge and bakery bread are sold in island shops and harbourside cafés, giving local food a distinct character. British islands were fortified in both world wars, and concrete coastal defences still stand on several, while strong tides surround British islands, and the Channel Islands have some of the world's largest tidal ranges.
