This wide, flat, sandy beach joins up with Minehead beach to form part of Blue Anchor Bay.
Not one for sunbathing - the terrain here is rather rocky - but excellent for budding palaeontologists, since there is an abundance of fossils. The limestone in the rocks sparkles with a pink hue.
Near the seaside resort of Minehead, conditions at this sandy beach make it popular for windsurfing and kitesurfing, as well as bucket and spade action.
Although pebbly, this four mile beach is popular, with its good facilities including a cafe and toilets. At low tide, evidence of its previous life can be seen with the remains of a submerged forest.
