What the Owner says:
The village of St Helens is located on the coast, with The Duver at the mouth of the harbour. The area features a sand-dune complex where the first golf course on the island was located, and where there is now a sheltered beach, cafe and beach huts. The Duver is maintained by the National Trust and therefore has a prolific amount of wildlife and unspoilt landscape. A popular promenade stretches along the beach, with the sand dunes at the rear. In 1997, the beach was given a Seaside Award Flag.

The Eastern Yar, from its source at Niton to the south of the island, runs through the village of St Helens en route to the Solent.
