From historic landmarks to natural wonders, Bembridge packs impressive variety into a compact area. These five attractions showcase why visitors book cottage breaks here year after year.
Bembridge Windmill
This National Trust property is the only surviving windmill on the Isle of Wight. Built around 1700, it stands four storeys tall and still contains much of its original wooden machinery. The views from the top floor stretch across the island and out to sea.
Bembridge Beach
This expansive sandy beach runs for over a mile and remains relatively quiet even in peak season. The shallow waters make it safe for families whilst the eastern end attracts fossil hunters. Rock pools appear at low tide and the beach is accessible with dogs year-round.
Bembridge Lifeboat Station
One of the busiest lifeboat stations in the UK, this working facility welcomes visitors. You can see the Tamar class all-weather lifeboat up close and learn about dramatic rescues. The shop sells unique gifts and all proceeds support the RNLI.
Culver Down
These dramatic chalk cliffs rise 100 metres above sea level and offer the best coastal views on the island. The walk to the Yarborough Monument takes about 30 minutes from Bembridge. On clear days you can see across to Portsmouth and the Sussex coast.
