From this point along the South West Coast Path, you are treated to breathtaking views of Starehole Bay. This little bay in South Devon sits at the mouth of the Kingsbridge Estuary, where it opens into the English Channel.

Hiking

When the tide is out it's a great place to explore. a mix of sand and rocks. The path down to the cove is fenced off where it joins the coastal path, but it still is there. I was maintained not that long ago and the metal bridge at the bottom currently feels robust (July 2021).
