Private beach with interesting history that charges £2.50 to go then a further charge for deck chairs so it needs to be a nice day to justify the expense. The local sand is black so it doesn't have the wow factor of a white sandy beach.

It is so unusual to find a peaceful secluded male and female separate beaches. During the time we visited there was a wedding going on so everyone was on the male beach. It is reasonably priced as it pays for the upkeep of the beaches. I would love to go back and spend longer next time.

It's a must visit. Great place to hide away for a couple of hours, with no distractions. The tidal pool is amazing, and a great place to do a little bit of rock climbing & rock pools to have a look in.

expensive beach view....£2;50pp!!!!! just to walk through n view beach...@ 5:00pm one evening with no one around.....yes quite a nice view but worth the money....Er!!!! ????

Interesting to visit the pool and beaches at both high and low tide. The admission price allows you to return on the same day.

There was not much to actually see on the beach after the Tunnels, but if you like to read about local history it is well worth the few pounds entry fee

Personally, I wouldn't spend the admission price just to see the tunnels, although its a good piece of history, it takes 10 minutes to do so isn't a day thing however, its perfect if its sunny, you can look at the tunnels and then spend the day down the beach. However, make sure its after 12 as the sun doesn't... More

Expensive for what it is, a shale beech, but interesting to see the old femail bathing pool, learn how peculiarly the sex's were kept separate and how they got into the sea without being seen. Also some history of how the seaside used to be

We were lucky with the weather when we went and the grandchildren enjoyed walking around the wall out to sea and the cafe was very pleasant. It's definitely worth a visit if you're in Ilfracombe but once you've been here there's not really any reason to return as there are lots of nicer beaches nearby.
