Bembridge Town Guide

Bembridge is a large village on the most easterly point of the Isle of Wight. Having a natural harbour it's a popular sailing centre. The town has grown since the 1800s when it was connected to the rest of the island by an embankment. You can a good choice of shops, pubs, restaurants and art galleries along the harbour side and in the village itself.

The Bembridge coast has a series of sandy and shingle beaches. Bembridge Ledges is particularly popular but still a quiet beach to visit as at low tide the rock ledges are exposed revealing rock pools - fantastic for exploring marine wildlife. A beach cafe and pub make welcome refreshment stops along Bembridge Ledges. Toilets and a car park are also available.

The ledges have been the scene of many a grounding so the RNLI have a lifeboat station at Bembridge. It's quite a landmark with the boat house being situated at the end of a long jetty. You can visit Bembridge Lifeboat station between 10am-4pm and there's a shop where you can buy RNLI souvenirs that help support the excellent rescue work the local volunteers carry out.
