The parish council have agreed to take on responsibility for the public toilets over the summer, but delays with contracts and safety checks have meant the toilets have not been open for the half-term holiday.
The annual St Helens Fort Walk is an unofficial event, not organised by any particular body. Instead, through word of mouth people gather to walk out to the Fort at the summer's lowest tide.
Islanders attempted the Bembridge and St Helens Fort Walk at several points across the weekend. See some of the photos that have been shared with OnTheWight.
If you are planning to 'do the fort walk' this year, OnTheWight has gathered several things you should consider beforehand to makes the most of the event - including safety.
