Parracombe - all beaches

What a gem of a hideaway! The beach may be a bit rocky, but the pebbles are so flat that even a toddler could toddle along with ease. Though it's not the biggest, there's still plenty to explore and the water doesn't get deep too quickly, so even the little ones can splash around safely. And if you're a dog lover, you're in luck! This beach is pup-friendly, so you'll see all kinds of furry friends frolicking in the waves alongside paddle boarders and jet skiers. Don't worry though, there's enough elbow room for everyone. The only catch? You'll need some decent stamina to make it down to the beach and, more importantly, back up the cliff. But hey, think of it as a free workout with a view! The steps are in good shape, so it's not too difficult, but your thighs may be singing a different tune by the end of it.

The beach is a stunning sight with its magnificent cliffs and rocky shoreline, and it's just a short walk away. The path leading to it is well-maintained, but some areas have uneven and rocky stones. If you have sensitive feet, it's best to wear thicker soles or sturdy boots. One section of the main path has loose rocks, so be careful. For a change of scenery, you can walk on either side of the stream on the way there and switch on the way back. The Lodge by the carpark offers lunch and tea. If you want to avoid the steeper climb at the beginning, you can take a shortcut through the Lodge gardens on the backside.
