Bembridge Village
Bembridge is situated on the most easterly point of the Isle of Wight, lying behind the spectacular headland of Culver.
A well-tended and well equipped village Bembridge has some of the most scenic coastline of any village on the Island.
There are a plethora of interesting eateries and things to do for the whole family in Bembridge and we highly recommend a holiday here to gain the essence of Island life.
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.
In past years Bembridge Village has won 'Village of the Year' in the BBC Countryfile Magazine Awards. They called Bembridge village a "wonderful coastal setting with a pier and lifeboat station, plus a busy village community with independent shops, cafes and restaurants. With three great beaches and the white cliffs of Culver Down on the doorstep, the village is a perfect base for exploring."
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.
