Osborne Bay
Osborne Bay on the Isle of Wight
Osborne Bay is a bay on the north-east coast of the Isle of Wight, England, in the eastern arm of the Solent. It lies to the east of East Cowes. Its shoreline is 2 km in length and is gently curving. It stretches from Old Castle Point in the west to Barton Point to the east. The seabed is a mixture of mud and sand. The beach is predominantly shingle.
The bay is popular in summer as a yacht anchorage, being sheltered from the prevailing south-westerly winds, and can become very crowded. The bay is inaccessible from the land and is best viewed from this anchorage.
