It lies {{convert|1 + 1/2|mile}} to the south-west of the village of Niton.[1] It faces south out into the English Channel, and is one of the smallest and remotest bays of the Isle of Wight with a rocky shoreline only around {{convert|500|ft}} in length. It lies to the west of St. Catherine's Point lighthouse and is surrounded by a 170-acre area of undulating grassland and scrub owned by the National Trust and known as Knowles Farm.[2] The beach is composed predominantly of sandstone, chalk and chert boulders (which are around 90 to 110 million years old) which are rich in fossils.[3] The bay is best accessed from the car park about {{convert|350|yd}} to the north or from the road that leads to the lighthouse but will involve a hike over rough terrain.[1] The name of the bay may have come from that of a sloop lost there in 1755.[4] The bay was home to a boathouse from the mid 19th century to early 20th century.[5] References1. ^1 {{Google maps|url=https://www.google.com/maps/place/Watershoot+Bay/@50.57674,-1.3022241,291m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x487485e929455efb:0xac683197db28bcdf!8m2!3d50.5758764!4d-1.305829 |title= Watershoot Bay |access-date=14 December 2018}} {{Crossings navbox2. ^[https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/st-catherines-down-and-knowles-farm St Catherine's Down and Knowles Farm] 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.dinosaurisle.com/images/pdfs/TEACHERSGUIDE2005.pdf|title=Dinosaur Isle Teachers' Guide|date= 2005|publisher=Isle of Wight Council}} 4. ^{{cite book|author=Peter Bruce|title=Wight Hazards|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=UDoQf4PR310C&pg=PA46|date=May 2008|publisher=Boldre Marine|isbn=978-1-871680-51-5|pages=37}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=https://heritagerecords.nationaltrust.org.uk/HBSMR/MonRecord.aspx?uid=MNA131760|title=Site of boat house, Watershoot Bay, Isle of Wight|publisher=National Trust}} |structure = Around the Bays |place = Isle of Wight |bridge = Watershoot Bay |bridge signs = |upstream text = West |upstream = Chale Bay |upstream signs = |downstream text = East |downstream = Reeth Bay |downstream signs = }}{{Bays on the Isle of Wight}} 1 : Bays of the Isle of Wight |
