Bembridge Village
Nestled at the easternmost point of the Isle of Wight, Bembridge lies just behind the stunning Culver Headland. It’s recognised as one of the largest villages in England, home to around 4,000 residents.
Bembridge extends along much of the eastern tip of the Isle, featuring a picturesque harbour, three inviting beaches, and even its own airport. The village has previously earned the title of 'Village of the Year' at the BBC Countryfile Magazine Awards, celebrated for its "beautiful coastal setting with a pier and lifeboat station, along with a vibrant community of independent shops, cafes, and restaurants." With its excellent beaches and the striking white cliffs of Culver Down nearby, it serves as a fantastic base for exploring the Island.
As a coastal village, many of the activities in Bembridge revolve around the sea. The three beaches—Lane End, the Ledge, and Bembridge Beach—are ideal for exploration, offering diverse coastlines, fascinating rock pools, and breathtaking views. Notably, Forelands Beach is just a short walk away, approximately a quarter of a mile from the village, making it easy to enjoy a day by the sea.
Bembridge's extensive harbour makes it a popular spot for sailing enthusiasts. Lane End Beach is also home to the new Bembridge Lifeboat Station, which stands offshore as a stunning landmark. Completed in 2010, this natural timber structure has quickly become one of the most photographed sites on the Isle of Wight.
Another notable feature of Bembridge is the iconic Bembridge Windmill, located on the village's outskirts and maintained by the National Trust.
Just a short distance away is Culver Down, with its striking white cliffs visible from Sandown Bay to Shanklin. The chalk downland is rich in wildlife and natural beauty, interspersed with remnants of military history, including a monument and a former barracks, a significant fort managed by the National Trust, and a World War II anti-aircraft battery at the cliffs' edge.
On the Bembridge side of Culver lies the beautiful Whitecliff Bay, a sheltered cove perfect for exploration, best accessed through the Whitecliff Bay holiday park.
In the centre of Bembridge village, you’ll find a variety of independent shops and eateries. Many restaurants here specialise in locally sourced seafood, boasting excellent reputations. A very popular pub, the Crab and Lobster, is just a quarter of a mile away, offering delicious dining options, while other traditional pubs further add to the culinary scene with delightful selections of classic English fare.
Frequent bus services connect the eastern Isle of Wight with nearby Ryde and Newport, making it easy to explore the surrounding areas.
