A popular Isle of Wight beach has seen an 8,900 per cent increase in interest following a recent TikTok interview with Florence Pugh and Zendaya for the promotion of Dune: Part Two.
Parkdean Resorts has revealed there has been an increase in interest in visiting Bembridge Beach after the interview snippet went viral on TikTok.
In the KISS FM interview, Florence Pugh was asked what UK beach she would take Zendaya to.
After Zendaya responded that she had visited a few UK beaches that were ‘pebbly’, Florence said Bembridge Beach was where she would take her.
Florence added: “There are all these dunes that are right behind the beach, and it’s really cool and weird, and yeah, they’re beautiful. So, I’ll take you there.”
She even said they could go on Hovertravel's hovercraft together.
"It only takes like a few minutes to get across," she said.

Since the video has gone viral, Parkdean Resorts has revealed that searches for the location have skyrocketed, with Google searches for ‘Bembridge Beach’ up 8,900 per cent.
Searches for Bembridge have also increased, with the town experiencing an uplift in demand of 66 per cent.
Bembridge Beach, at the edge of the harbour, features varying textures, including stones, pebbles and shells, with a large sandbank that extends with the low tide.
It is thought that Florence is referring to the former Royal Isle of Wight Golf Club at the nearby St Helens Duver, which includes sandy and grassy dunes.
She likened the location to the dunes of Arrakis, as seen in Dune: Part One and Two.
