Steel Bay is a bay on the south-east coast of the Isle of Wight, England. It lies to the north-east of the village of Bonchurch. It faces south-east towards the English Channel, and has a one-half-mile (0.80 km) shoreline.^[1] It stretches from Bordwood Ledge in the north to Dunnose headland in the south.^[2] The bay is remote and is best viewed from Dunnose which can be accessed by scrambling over The Landslip which is close to the Isle of Wight Coastal Path in the woods to the east of Upper Bonchurch. The bay has a drying reef with outlying rocks, which can be a danger for marine traffic.^[3]
