It might only be 25 miles long, but the sheer diversity of things to do on the Isle of Wight is hard to beat all year round. And that starts with Bembridge Harbour itself – the home of The Harbour Houseboat.
World famous for its sailing and seafood (especially the ‘Bembridge Crab'), Bembridge is a bustling harbour village complete with its own supermarket, shops, cafes, pubs, restaurants, fishmonger and butcher.
Whilst the Isle of Wight is home to some of the UK's most acclaimed beaches, the nearest one is no more than five minutes away. And outstanding local seafood can be found even closer - we have a great crab shack selling the fresh morning catch just two minutes walk from our front door.
