Great alternative (+24H access) instead of an overnight inside Bembridge Harbour assuming conditions are agreeable. Bembridge still easily reachable by tender. Many other reviews note the rib traffic, but whilst at times inconsiderate, doesn’t detract from the pretty beach and location/ vistas across the eastern Solent. Similar to Osborne Bay, expect some roll from the larger ships coming up from the Nab Tower bound for Southampton/ Fawley.

4/5Priory Bay is ideal for RIBS and smaller craft. Must watch the tides, as it can completely dry out. Watch out for sandbars, which dry out to seaward of the beach and have trapped a number of unwitting RIBs within the formed lagoons, which then subsequently dry out! A great spectator sport! Offers great protection for Westerlys and South Westerly. Can be annoying in the summer with the amount of RIB traffic and jet skis moving around.

4/5We anchored here for 2 nights. It was a bit rolly at night but good holding other and a good nights sleep.
