Stretching across the village and forming a focal point within the community, the vast St Helens village green hosts regular sporting events throughout the year, and there is also a good-sized children's play area. The marina is located just outside of the village in Bembridge Harbour where regular fishing charters can be enjoyed. At the opposite end of the village the road runs down to St Helens Duver which sits at the mouth of Bembridge Harbour, where during the summer months, one can enjoy the delights of the beach cafe, and the beautiful sandy beaches which are maintained by the National Trust. The vast sand dunes at St. Helens Duver are popular for dog walking, picnics and barbecues. Furthermore, frequent bus services link the village with Newport and the seaside town of Ryde which provides mainland travel links, and there is a superstore located just a ten-minute drive from the property.
