Bembridge, Seaview, St Helens

Type: Towns & Villages

Bembridge is situated on the most easterly point of the Isle of Wight, lying behind the spectacular headland of Culver. It is also claimed to be the largest village in England, with a population of approximately 4,000 residents.

Bembridge stretches around most of the Eastern tip of the Isle of Wight which includes its harbour and three beaches, and has its own airport.

Things to do in Bembridge

As the village runs along the coast many of the things to do in Bembridge are related to the sea. The three beaches Lane End, the Ledge and Bembridge Beach are very popular for exploring with contrasting coastlines, rock pools and stunning panoramic views out to sea.

With its substantial harbour Bembridge is a very popular destination for sailing. On the Lane End Beach you will find the new Bembridge Lifeboat station which stands offshore to form a striking image.

The natural timber building was only completed in 2010 but has become one of the most iconic and most photographed structures on the Isle of Wight in recent years.

Another of the Isle of Wight’s most recognisable pieces of architecture is Bembridge Windmill, on the outskirts of the village, which is maintained by The National Trust. A short distance from Bembridge is Culver Down, the white cliffs of which can be seen from Sandown Bay all the way through to Shanklin.

The chalk down of Culver has a fascinating mixture of wildlife and natural features, mixed with several remaining military features including a monument with the adjoining remains of a former barracks, a substantial fort owned by The National Trust and a 2nd world war anti-aircraft battery at the end of the cliffs.

Beneath Culver on the Bembridge side is the magnificent Whitecliff Bay, a sheltered cove well worth exploring and best accessed through the Whitecliff Bay holiday park.

Places to eat in Bembridge

At the heart of Bembridge village there are a number of independent shops and eateries.

Most of the places to eat in Bembridge serve locally caught fish, and there are a number of small restaurants with very high reputations for their food.

If you are looking for something more traditional the pubs in Bembridge also offer a good selection of English food.

Overlooking Bembridge Harbour, Eleuthera and her sister boat Islay, nestle into their surroundings beautifully providing easy access for everything a family or group holiday could wish for and some of the most delightful hidden beaches on the south coast.

“Eleuthera”, or “Ele" for short, references her owners family roots in the Bahamas and the joy, freedom, memories and fun that can be had on an island in the sunshine. "Eleuthera" derives from the feminine form of the Greek (eleútheros), meaning "free".

Islay is a brutally beautiful Scottish island, a place of ever-changing skies and broiling grey-green seas. Pronounced Eye-la, it is the perfect namesake to reflect the boat's Highland heritage and her designer's penchant for the island's spectacular whisky.

Bembridge Harbour

Bembridge sprawls around the most easterly coastline of the Isle of Wight. Full of beaches that are dog-friendly year-round with pubs to stop in when you've had your fill of fresh sea air. Fabulous places to eat, shops stocked with local ingredients to make the most of your self-catering stay on our houseboats.

Santa Marina is an uber-luxe retreat for explorers and collectors of the world’s island idyll experiences. Set overlooking the exquisite and iconic Ornos Bay,

Around Bembridge

If you’re looking for a unique stay, this is it. Overlooking Bembridge Harbour, Islay and her sister boat Eleuthera , nestle into their surroundings beautifully providing easy access for everything a family or group holiday could wish for and some of the most delightful hidden beaches on the Isle of Wight.

Islay and Eleuthera can sleep up to 10 and enjoys glorious views across the harbour, perfect for a family getaway to the island. The houseboat will rise and fall with the tides and come to settle on the seabed.

Only a short walk from Bembridge village and beaches, the entrance leads across a walkway to the front door which opens onto the main open-plan living area. With kitchen/utility, toilet, banquet dining table, and comfortable sitting areas, you’ll enjoy spectacular views across the harbour. The sliding folding doors that lead onto the viewing deck flood light into the main room. The ever-changing sea and sky create a constantly changing landscape that can be enjoyed all year round. Downstairs there are 4 modern bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, sleeping up to 9, perfect for 2 families.

Access to each boat is via a 5m long 1m wide gangway, which is lit at night, from a private deck at street level on Embankment road. Almost opposite is the guest car park with designated parking for each houseboat. We are sorry but the boat design makes her unsuitable for wheelchair access.

A few booking rules…

• Not suitable for infants (under 2 years)
• No parties or events
• No loud music in our tranquil harbour

Bembridge Beach

The main beach in Bembridge runs down the coast from the spit at the edge of Bembridge harbour. The beach is comprised of stones, pebbles and shells but has sand below the high water mark and a large sandbank that extends into the Solent at low tide.

Bembridge beach is ideal for exploring, with great views out over the Solent to Portsmouth and the south coast, and also of St Helen's Fort, built by Palmerston between 1867 and 1880.

It is very popular for watersports and dinghy sailing, with access via a road from the main highway.

A car park sits among the sand dunes behind the beach.

The harbour is especially busy in the summer months and you can watch the boats negotiate their way in and out of the harbour via the channel that is marked with jaunty large coloured buoys.

A groyne marks the edge of the safe swimming area.

There is a small cafe on the edge of the harbour nearby and a popular pub that also serves food with music most evenings during the summer months.
