Reviews
A great place to visit whatever the weather. There is a great cafe with great food, great staff, and wonderful views. Great place to bring children, with the beach and dedicated play area available. Lepe offers something for everyone - watching the activity on the water - taking part in water activities - admire nature - imagine the activity of the site where Mulberry's were built - or simply just stop and stare. Enjoy
Lovely place which is part of Lepe country park. Accessed via a paid carpark. The beach areas are not particularly good for sitting on although there are small areas of soft sand. However, there are lots of picnic tables and the very good Cafe at the Carpark. The beach extends round the point towards Southampton water where the beach is broken by the remains of the D Day Embarkation hard and Mulberry Harbour Construction Site. A fantastic area for exploring the history, but not suitable for sitting on the beach. Hear the currents are also strong. This is an excellent area for walking with lots to see on land and on the water. The main Lepe country park has extensive walking trails and dog walking areas.
Brilliant views from the cafe, with fantastic food. The cafe is clean, the staff were lovely, and all fairly affordable. The beach itself and surrounding walks could do with some love, with old wooden sea walls fallen over, and a fair amount of litter dotted around. Overall, lovely beach, with some lovely walks.
A good place for a gentle there-and-back-again walk along the coast, with nice views of the Isle of Wight. Famous for its role in the preparations for D-Day with some of the old structures still present, though slowly being eaten away by the sea in places. If you are interested in geology, there are some good exposures of Late Quaternary river gravels which show the area had an arctic-type climate at times in the past. Good cafe with seats indoors and out. Nice cake!
We arrived at Lepe around 7pm in time for the sunset. Plenty of parking, you pay at the meter before you leave which is much easier than guessing how long you’ll be. The views over to the Isle of White are amazing on a clear day. Would be nice if the cafe was open later during the summer, they’d make a fortune if they did food in the evenings. Dogs need to be kept on lead. All in all worth an early evening visit for the views and amazing light!
