A pebble beach under the coloured cliffs at the western tip, just north of the Needles. Alum Bay Beach is adjacent to the site of Marconi’s first permanent wireless station. In 1897, he set up a 168-foot mast outside the Royal Needles Hotel overlooking the bay to communicate with ships and the mainland. Today, a Marconi Monument stands on the cliff tops above the beach.
The way down is a chairlift or a steep path from the car park above. Currents run past the Needles. The cliff top is not an operating spot.
