The numerous beaches of North
Somerset, North Devon and South Devon are all within comfortable day-trip distance.
Our nearest beach (about 18 miles)
is Blue Anchor Bay. Here there are rock pools for dipping,
interesting cliff and rock formations as well as a fairly sandy beach suitable for
swimming from.
North Devon has spectacular sandy
beaches: Saunton Sands and Putsborough Sands, Woolacombe have miles of beautiful golden sand and Croyde Bay is famous for its surf and delicious ice cream with an optional
dollop of clotted cream - this is allowed if you are on holiday!
For the adventurous, you can hire
surf boards, surf canoes and all the gear by the hour, half day or full day at these
beaches.
Visit Exmouth for a traditional British seaside day out, or Watchet for its historic harbour and sea fishing trips.
