Whale Chine * 🐾

Shingle (same stretch as Chale Bay) — time and height interpolated between neighbouring real tide stations, approximate, for casual planning only.

🏖️ No facilities — the historic steps down through the chine have been closed to the public since 2005 (Isle of Wight Council); this is the same stretch of coast as Chale Bay.

🐾 No seasonal exclusion found in the Council's current list — dogs generally welcome year-round, but always check on-the-day signage.

🅿️ Nearest parking: Blackgang Viewpoint car park — Free, shared with Chale Bay - the chine steps themselves are closed.
