View of the South West Coast Path

Highlight • Viewpoint

The South West Coast Path gives you endless views of the sea. These meadows and hedges form the backdrop to the coastline. It is so relaxing - for us it was a real spectacle.

There are not many visitors to Maidencomb Beach - mostly hikers on the South West Coast Path taking a break. The natural beauty of the bay is magnificent and the calm sea creates a peaceful atmosphere.

September 19, 2021,Maidencombe beach loop including the Thatched Tavern

Short hike but with a few steep inclines and some great views. There's a small cafe on the beach but the Thatched Tavern is definitely worth a stop for food.
