The Needles and Alum Bay — photo spot in The Needles Landmark Attraction, Alum Bay New Rd, Alum Bay PO39 0JD, UK
The Needles and Alum Bay
Dramatic white chalk stacks (the Needles), turquoise Solent waters and multicoloured Alum Bay sands create strong shapes, layers and colour contrast. Shoot from cliff-top viewpoints, the Needles Battery, the chairlift and from a boat for sea-level silhouettes. Best at sunrise or golden-hour sunsets for warm side-light and long shadows; weekdays and early mornings reduce crowds. Weather is changeable and often windy—bring protective gear. Paid parking and entrance to the Landmark attraction/chair
