Bathing at Priory Bay

A beautifully situated bay within easy reach of Ryde, where the best of bathing can be enjoyed from tents pitched on the shore. Here mixed bathing is conducted on the Continental system, which is so much appreciated by the English when abroad. A well-laid footpath along the sea-front connects this bay with Ryde.
