This is a beautiful long sandy beach backed by the UNESCO-protected Braunton Burrows dunes, part of the largest sand dune system in the UK. The beach is popular for its waves and brings in surfers from far and wide.

Just before it flows into the Bristol Channel, the Taw joins the River Torridge. The estuary is approximately 750 metres wide. At low tide, large areas of the banks are accessible and ideal for strolling.

The history of Velator Quay in Braunton is closely linked to the economic development of the area. The port was established in the 19th century and served as a major transshipment point for goods transported via the River Taw. It played a central role in the agricultural community of Braunton, facilitating the export of grain, lime, coal and other goods. In its heyday, Velator Quay was a busy port with ships regularly docking to load goods for the regional market and further afield. However, the Quay's importance declined with the advent of the railway and modern transport in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, which eventually led to a decline in commercial activity. Today, Velator Quay is a tranquil spot and a popular destination for walkers and nature lovers.

A huge sandy beach and often very windy. The surfers love it, walkers wipe the sand from their eyes and brace themselves against the wind 😁

Crow Point is a peninsula that spans out from the Braunton Burrows Nature Reserve in the North Devon Area of Natural Beauty. It's a wonderful place for a walk during low tide, where you can discover old ship wrecks and experience wonderful views across the Taw & Torridge estuary.

Chesil Cliff House is a well-known coastal home that featured on the TV show Grand Designs. The home stands in a prominent position overlooking the beautiful sea off the North Devon coast.
