Combe Martin Beach is set in a picturesque location just below the village. It’s surrounded by some of the highest sea cliffs in England and is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The beach itself is a mixture of shingle and pebbles but gets sandier as you approach the water. It’s a great spot for swimming as its sheltered position offers protection from stronger currents and waves. However, there is no lifeguard so care should be taken.

We didn't find the beach very nice today - it was rocky, a bit unkempt, and there were lots of dogs. But there were lots of restaurants around it! Maybe we were just unlucky?
It didn't look anything like the photos we posted. The fact that the A-road runs right past it doesn't make it any better.

Pretty small village with a nice beach. Recommend eating fish&chips from "black&white fish&chips" on the beach enjoying the sunset!
