The village has a social club, situated in the old school house, and a holiday park with indoor and outdoor swimming pools and the village's only remaining shop.

There have never been any churches in Newbridge but the hamlet did have two chapels. One was demolished in the early 1980s and the remaining Newbridge Wesleyan Methodist Chapel is now part of a residence.

The name Newbridge is explained by the bridge near the edge of the village which crosses the Calbourne this being literally the "New Bridge". The Calbourne stream runs through nearby Calbourne passing through Newbridge and Shalfleet and discharges into the Solent at Newtown.

Newbridge is served by Southern Vectis bus route 7.
