Thorness Bay

Thorness Bay sits on the northwest coast of the Isle of Wight, a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest spanning over 200 acres of unspoilt shoreline — you anchor off here and take in genuinely peaceful countryside views that feel miles from the tourist trail. It's a great base for exploring the quieter side of the island, with the holiday park nearby and easy access to the island's walking routes and natural landscapes.
