United Kingdom
Combe Martin is about six miles out of Ilfracombe on the A39.
It's excellent for rockpools. Head onto the beach and walk to the cliffs on the right. At low tide you will find a path that follows the base of the cliff and around the headland about 200m.
It has an abundance of big and small rockpools full of sealife.
Keeps the kids (and dads) happy for hours.
There is also a lovely stretch of sandy beach exposed beyond the water break at low tide.
A few miles south of Ilfracombe are the villages of Croyde, Saunton and Braunton. What they all have in common are huge sandy beaches and conditions that have become well known for surfing. If you don’t surf, just get an ice cream and watch – it’s quite entertaining.
