St Helens Beach can be accessed either by foot or car. Public transport is
available to the Village Green leaving the visitor with a 15 to 20 minute
walk. St Helens is a haven for peace and tranquility. The beach is excellent
for swimming with sand dunes at the rear of the promenade. Birds and wildlife
abound in the area and the view of Bembridge Harbour is breathtaking.
During the summer season St Helens beach is litter picked on a daily basis
and large amounts of seaweed are removed and taken to local farmers for use
as compost. Safety is of the utmost importance and emergency equipment such
as Lifebelts are strategically located along the Esplanade in order to ensure
safety at any time of the year. St Helens is well served by a local Cafe.
Since
1997 St Helens has not only been able to fly the Seaside Award Flag but has
also been successful in displaying its Water Quality Award.
Like anywhere, St Helens has its natural hazards, so be sure to take notice of the safety signs and also read the safety guidelines and have a good time. Information is provided at each area so check this out.
