Situated on the eastern tip of the Island, Bembridge is a thriving village, bordered by the sea to the east and north, Culver Down to the south and the Brading marshes to the west.  Home to about 3,500 people, it has two excellent shopping areas in the High Street and Lane End, and a wide range of pubs, restaurants and hostelries.  Bembridge Harbour is home to two sailing clubs and a marina.  There are many local groups who meet regularly in the Village Hall, the Cloisters, the Bembridge Youth & Community Centre and the Scout Hut, while Steyne Park attracts local football and cricketing enthusiasts to its grounds, and families to the playground and skate park.  Bembridge Windmill dates back to the early 1700s.  The Lifeboat Station is staffed by local volunteers and is operational 24/7 all year round.  The Primary School has an excellent reputation with a wide and varied curriculum.  There is an excellent network of footpaths,  enabling coastal and inland rambles, while the beaches have everything from sand to rockpools to explore.

The Parish Council aims to preserve, protect and enhance all aspects of village life and to be an information hub for the community.
