More about this scene
Bembridge is surrounded by attractive and tranquil scenery. Its harbour has always been a place to pass a lazy afternoon and eat snacks as you watch the boats. Riley's Pantry, seen here on the right, advertises fresh lobster sandwiches at 6d each. Such is the demand for eating places that the old lifeboat house opposite has also been converted into a cafe.
