Bucks Mills - all beaches

This beach is beautifully secluded, but don't expect golden sands. It's even more beautiful and interesting than that! You can access it from the South West Coast Path through a woodland track, just be careful of your footing. Check out more photos on @dee.crute's Instagram.

The oceanic pool was an absolute delight to take a dip in. It was far more comfortable than the open sea and had a hassle-free entry and exit system. With a maximum depth of 1.2 meters and a gradual slope, you can gradually acclimate yourself to the water temperature. The pool was impeccably maintained and offered a stunning vista. Changing rooms were conveniently located at the poolside.

This expansive beach is a paradise for pet owners, with ample space for dogs to run and play. However, the lack of restroom facilities and the steep £5 parking fee for just an hour's visit before heading to Appledore detract from the experience. Despite this, the attendant overseeing the parking lot was exceedingly friendly and accommodating.

The beach is quite rocky and presents a challenge to access. In fact, the only way to reach it is by walking through the popular tourist spot, Clovelly High Street. The street itself is charming with its cobbled surface, but it is also quite steep and not recommended for those with pushchairs or wheelchairs.

This beach is a haven of tranquility, with its rugged coastline and peaceful atmosphere. Though it may require a bit of a trek to reach, the journey is well worth it for the breathtaking scenery and serene surroundings.
