A quiet sand and shingle beach situated in an attractive rocky cove. There are lots of rock pools to explore at low tide and some of the shells on the beach have been washed up from the Caribbean on the Gulf Stream. There are beautiful walks around the headland to Morte Point, which is National Trust land.
The only facility at the beach is a shop providing refreshments.
THe beach is just beyond the end of the B3343, north west of Barnstaple.
