Bembridge Beach

Bembridge Beach is a spacious and well-maintained beach located in Bembridge, a small town situated on the coast. The beach is known for its unique composition of stones, pebbles, and shells, with sand appearing below the high water mark and a vast sandbank extending into the Solent at low tide.

The beach offers stunning views of the Solent, Portsmouth, and the south coast, including a sight of St Helen's Fort and the lifeboat station. It is also renowned for its calm waters, making it an ideal spot for paddle sports, watersports, and dinghy sailing. A designated safe swimming area, marked by a groyne, further enhances the beach's appeal for water activities.

Another popular activity at Bembridge Beach is rockpooling, with visitors often finding crabs and other sea creatures. The beach is also a popular venue for walking, especially during low tide. One can enjoy miles of walks along the shore, even with dogs off the lead. Despite its popularity, the beach remains generally quiet, providing a peaceful environment for visitors.

Bembridge Beach is easily accessible through a road from the main highway, with a car park available among the sand dunes behind the beach. During the summer months, the nearby harbour bustles with activity, offering a delightful spectacle of boats navigating through a channel marked with large colored buoys.

For refreshments and relaxation, a small café is located near the harbour, and a pub is available that serves food and offers live music during the summer.
