Whitecliffe Bay is another great spot, just around the corner from Bembridge on the south side of the island. Cake, teas and ice cream ashore but no loos for the ladies!!!

Correct in most cases: up to the high water mark is HM Queen property and it is very difficult, although not impossible that someone owns a beach.

Different rules in Scotland though: a lot of people have "feif" (sp?) to the shore, a very old ruling which allows them to "own" the area below high water mark to a distance that a horse could be ridden out to at dead low water. Classic example of this is Largs Marina, Ayrshire: formerly Lord Glasgow owned "feif" to the shore and he sold it to the developers.

Yes, I know some great bays and inlets to anchor in but if I told you I'd have to .....etc etc etc
