Bembridge Beach is made up of sand interspersed with rocky pools. At low tide, the Bembridge ledge is revealed, on which many ships have run aground over the years. The beach is surrounded by St Helens Duver, a Victorian golf course turned wildlife haven, managed by the National Trust, which is home to a variety of spectacular wildlife.
The beach is located beside the Lifeboat Pier and faces east towards Selsey Bill. At high tide, there can be little beach left, but at low tide, a good stretch of sand appears below the high water mark. A range of facilities are available nearby, including a cafe, car park, public toilets, and RNLI shop.
Bembridge Beach is popular for a range of water sports, including sailing, with a number of clubs located in the town of Bembridge. The beach is also a good spot for walking, with views of Portsmouth and the south coast of England. Visitors may also spot some of the big cross-channel ferries leaving from Portsmouth as they pass close to the coast here. During low tide, it may be possible to see Bembridge Ledge, a rocky outcrop that poses a particular risk to small, private boats.
There is pay-for parking, including disabled spaces, next to the lifeboat station along Fisherman’s Walk. There are also toilets, a shop, and a café here, as well as a pier that leads to the boathouse. The beach is accessed via a gentle slipway. Further parking can be found at the western end of the beach near the harbour, behind some sand dunes that lead down to the beach.
St Helen’s beach, located nearby, is a mixture of sand and pebbles with breakwaters, a sea wall, and promenade. The village of Bembridge offers a good range of facilities, including shops, pubs, and restaurants.
Bembridge Beach is adjacent to the Isle of Wight Coast Path.
