Gorgeous place. Lots of interesting things to see. Not too busy. There was a small cafe, pub and some arty craft studios. The place is unspoilt and natural. I love it.

So tranquil and picturesque. Absolutely love this place. Bordered by Porlock Weir, the Salt Marsh and Bossington Hill, it's just perfect.

Shh. Don't tell anyone about this little cobbley beach surrounded by hills, great views of Wales on a clear day, nice car park, nice toilets, wonderful ice cream shop, plenty of places to eat and drink, several interesting craft shops, and a couple of nice walks too. Far better without loads of people there so that the silence of waves and seagulls is undisturbed.

Really lovely little place. The beach is all pebbly and has a few pubs around the harbour with some outdoor seating which is lovely on a nice day. There is a car park which is £1.00 per hour with toilets
