"In my opinion, this is the best beach I've ever been to, but it is quite pricey. The parking lot has excellent restrooms and the amenities are well-maintained, but I struggle to justify the cost. Nearby beaches like Saunton have a time-based fee system that may be more cost-effective for surfers or dog walkers."

It's generally less crowded than neighboring beaches like Croyde, Saunton, or Woolacombe, making it perfect for families. The beach has beautiful sand and plenty of rock pools to explore, filled with baby crabs, shrimps, and ..."
