St. Helens is a small coastal village on the north‑east of the Isle of Wight in England, sitting on the sheltered edge of the Solent near Bembridge. The area is known for St. Helens Duver, a shingle spit and saltmarsh that attracts birdlife and walkers and provides wide views across the Solent to the Hampshire coast.
Historically a modest fishing and boatbuilding community, St. Helens today mixes local village life with tourism, sailing and wildlife‑watching; many homes are holiday lets and small marinas and yards still operate. It retains a village pub and parish feel, with seasonal events and a quiet, scenic character popular with nature lovers and those seeking a traditional island coastal village experience.
