Breathtaking view of Lundy Island this beautiful beach was outstandingly clean even though it was absolutely packed with families enjoying the sunshine. Great waves for surfing and lovely little natural pools for the younger children to play in safely. One of the best English beaches we have visited.

As children we used to sit with our mom and dad on this cracking beach and sift through the sand to find the most exquisite tiny shells - still do it to this day. Love it.

South West Coast Path - Putsborough Marine Drive Walk

Reviewed By gkw09 - Cambridge, United Kingdom

Took stock of this area from a terrific, high vantage point before walking to Baggy Point. The south point of Putsborough Beach eventually meets Woolacombe’s award-winning Sands and offers one of north Devon’s best coastlines. A good day out.

Bull Point Lighthouse

Reviewed By MikeS519 - St. Albans, United Kingdom

This lighthouse is very pretty and well worth the hilly coastal path that takes you there. The scenery all the way along the path is amazing and we often saw seals playing along the coast line. Loads of amazing views, wildlife and well marked paths.
