Went to Ladye Bay with a couple of friends the other day and honestly, it’s one of the best little spots I’ve been to in ages. It’s tucked away so it feels like a bit of a secret but once you find it you won’t want to leave. The walk down is beautiful with proper coastal views and when you get there it’s just this peaceful, rugged bay with cliffs, pebbles and the sea stretching out in front of you. We spent ages just sitting around, chatting and seeing who could get the best pebble throws. Classic competition obviously. Skimming stones, trying and failing to hit a specific rock in the water and just generally messing about like kids. It’s got that kind of atmosphere where you can completely switch off and just enjoy the simple things. The water looked so inviting that we had to get in for a swim. Freezing at first but once you're in it is amazing. Definitely recommend bringing water shoes because it’s a bit rocky underfoot but the refreshing dip was totally worth it. What makes Ladye Bay special is how untouched it feels. No big crowds, no noisy distractions, just proper nature at its best. If you’re in Clevedon and want somewhere peaceful with stunning views it’s a must visit. Five stars easy.

Beautiful location, lovely beach, nice bouldering, quiet. We returned 6 years later and it is still lovely. New access stairs have been installed which are good and grippy. There is no sand, it has a large tidal range. It is muddy at low tide. The location is a sun trap on a winters afternoon.

Nice stone beach. Very quiet this time of year, so perfect if you want to relax. The beach is a little bit small and has too much seaweed washed up, that's the only downside. The view from the rocks was beautiful and there is also a wooded coastal path just up the stairs and to the left.

Nice little Bay at the North end of Clevedon. You can access it via the coast path, or if you have mobility difficulties, you can park on the top road and walk down some steps to the path above the bay.
