Whitecliff Bay is a pleasant privately owned sand and shingle beach, set in a bay and backed by Culver Cliffs and Whitecliff Bay Holiday Park. The beach is situated near the eastern tip of the Isle of Wight and is famous for its well-exposed sedimentary rock sequence, which yields an abundance of fossils. The mostly sandy beach slopes gently up to the base of the cliffs, with a rock ledge at the southern end.
The sand and shingle beach of Whitecliff Bay is approximately 200 metres long and is backed by two holiday parks, making it a popular spot during the summer. The beach is situated at the foot of the high chalk Culver Cliffs, which form part of a site of significant geological interest and are rich in fossils.
The beach has some facilities, including two cafes, but no toilets. Parking is limited, and access to the beach is via two steep concrete paths. The beach is privately owned by one of the holiday parks, but this does not affect public access.
Whitecliff Bay is adjacent to the Isle of Wight Coast Path.
