Visit Ilfracombe's award winning beach and must-see tourist attraction. Hand carved tunnels lead to unique, sheltered beaches and tidal Victorian bathing pool. Fascinating history information is displayed throughout the site. Kids love to play safely in the pool or explore our fantastic rock pools (Rated 3rd best in the UK by BBC Wildlife Magazine). Other facilities include gift shop, outdoor adventure store, kayak hire and sales, three bars and toilet facilities. Fun and fascinating for all ages.
