Wild Pear Beach

Location and the Beach

An idyllic little beach. accessed by a steep pathway, with rocks, sand and shingle, and freshwater streams running down the cliff.

Although technically an unofficial beach, the local council recognise, and accept it's status as a naturist haven.

Directions

From the car park at Combe Martin take the pathway towards Little Hangman. After passing a resting place, resembling a bus shelter, and through a gateway, when you can see the beach below,  bear off to the left, and follow a narrow winding path down to the beach.

Access to the beach and Naturism

The steps at the bottom, which have been washed away occasionally, have been replaced by the National Trust. The walk is just over a mile, quite strenuous, but well worth it.

The terrain is definitely NOT easy on this one - it's a real challenge to get down and up again!
