Bembridge is located almost at the eastern most point of the Isle of Wight. From here there are shallow beaches, which offer safe bathing and hours of a surprisingly busy little harbour, which is always well stocked with pleasure craft and fishing boats, providing a constant flow of traffic as they “come and go” to the Solent. The shipping channel is always busy and you will be able to watch container ships, coasters and liners pass by and then round The Nab Tower as they head of into the English Channel.

The harbour has individual boats on its southern shore and you can even get afternoon tea or B & B in some of them. Bembridge has a small airport to the west of the town centre, on the way towards Sandown. Here the Famous “Islander” aircraft, which many Police Forces use as a spotter plane was built. From the top of Bembridge Down, you can spend the day overlooking the airport, with its small pleasure craft coming and going. Behind this you will look out to Bembridge and St. Helens with the Solent and Mainland beyond.
