Priory Bay is on the northeast coast of England’s largest island and a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Isle of Wight. This small exclusively owned bay is surrounded by the well-preserved Priory Woods, a 2.94-hectare (7.26-acre) National Trust property in the United Kingdom. The seabed at this bay is a mixture of golden sand and pebbles, along with sedimentary rocks. The place is also famous for the sightings of dinosaur bones and footprints.
Priory Bay has long served as a peaceful haven for beach lovers. A shallow sandbar forms offshore during low tide, creating a gulf of water ideal for water activities. Moreover, there are picturesque parks and museums nearby, which are ideal for family trips. These include Appley Park, Isle of Wight Bus and Coach Museum, and more.
To explore this charming bay, make sure to book accommodation that’s close to nature. Browse this list of top yurts near Priory Bay, UK, for a peaceful getaway.
