Colwell Bay

Drop anchor off Colwell Bay and you're just a short dinghy ride from a lovely sandy beach on the northwest corner of the Isle of Wight. It's a relaxed, unhurried spot — Yarmouth is only about a mile away if you need supplies or a meal, and the coastal path connecting the two makes for a great stretch of the legs. Totland Bay sits just to the south, so you've got some beautiful shoreline to explore in either direction.
