Seagrove Beach, situated on the east coast of the Isle of Wight, is a peaceful and picturesque destination that offers a serene beach experience. .

Seagrove Bay is a small bay located on the northeast coast of the Isle of Wight, near Bembridge. The bay faces eastwards into the English Channel and is fairly sheltered from both wind and waves. The beach measures less than 1km in length and slopes gently, with channels and sandbanks at low tide.

The beach is mainly sand, with a pebbly shoreline near the water's edge. Two streams cross the beach, and there is a sewage overflow just offshore at the north end that could operate in response to significant rainfall. At low tide, the beach has plenty of sand, making it ideal for watersports, sandcastles, sunbathing, and beach activities.

Seagrove Bay has a Blue Flag award, guaranteeing great water quality and plenty of family-friendly facilities. There is a small car park nearby, a lane leading down to the beach with a slipway for boats, and toilets. Visitors can also park at Seaview and walk around the coast to reach Seagrove Bay. The bay has a wooden boardwalk providing access to the seawall.

Priory Bay, a nearby beach, is a lovely sand and pebble beach located on the eastern coast of the Isle of Wight, near Nettlestone. The beach is surrounded by 7.5 acres of National Trust woodland known as Priory Woods and is accessible only by footpaths from Seagrove Bay or St Helens.

It's advisable to check the tide times before visiting Seagrove Bay, as the beach all but disappears at high tide. Swimming is not recommended at Priory Bay due to shallow waters and tidal variations.
