Things to see and do at St Helen's Duver


Pack a picnic, the children and the dog then set off for a day at St Helen's Duver. There's something to keep everyone busy from rock pooling on the beach to wildflower and bird spotting and plenty of grassy open land for running off some steam.
The Duver
St Helen's Duver is a wonderful open space to wander, fly a kite, walk the dog, watch the birds, or just sit and enjoy the tranquillity. In May it is carpeted with thrift, but at all times of the year there is so much to see.
Beach at Nodes Point
The beach at St Helen's is great for rock pooling, as well as for making sand castles or simply sitting and watching the ships pass by.
Rockpooling by the shore
At Nodes Point the limestone ledges have some delightful little rockpools to explore.
Our special wildflowers and wildlife
St Helen's Duver is a wonderful place for nature that adapts to the changing conditions. We carefully manage the land to encourage a range of coastal flowers, insects and birds. You might spot some of the wildflowers in the grassland of the old golf links and around the marshy shore.
Birdwatching
You can enjoy watching birds here. Over the lagoons and Bembridge Harbour you may see flocks of geese, duck and waders in the winter. In the summer, look out for warblers and other small birds in the bushes and long grass.
Walk your dog
The flat, open, grassy spaces of the old golf course at St Helen's Duver are ideal for dogs, and there are paths around the lagoon and sea wall.
Please help us keep this place beautiful by cleaning up after your dog.
