Question 21

Is the beach easily accessible?

Accepted Answer

It is a short walk to the beach but the path is not tarmaced and part of it is steep. The ground is uneven
and can be slippery due to rain or loose stones so care should be taken and we advise using the handrail.
There are ten steps at the bottom of the path with handrails either side.

Question 22

Is the beach safe to swim?

Accepted Answer

There are no rip tides within the bay but waves can be large (especially in the winter) and we would
recommend assessing the location of the reefs/stones whilst the tide is out before swimming at high tide when they are hidden. The rise and fall of the tide is one of the largest in the world, the sea goes far out at low tide exposing mud (take care not to get stuck!) and at high tide can come right up to the cliff (take care not to get cut off!). Checking the tide times is recommended if you are planning a beach walk.

Question 23

Is the beach sandy?

Accepted Answer

The beach has stones/pebbles below the cliff and then “hard” sand castle making sand, reefs and rock
pools.

Question 24

What should be avoided on the beach?

Accepted Answer

We would urge you not to sit near the cliff face as it is unstable and constantly crumbles away and under
no circumstances shower under the waterfall as even the smallest debris carried over the top in the river or
rock dislodged from the cliff face could cause serious injury.

Question 25

Is Home Farm suitable to visit for those using public transport?

Accepted Answer

The nearest train station is 17 miles away in Taunton, the nearest bus stop is 2 miles away in Williton or
Watchet and the road there is not ideal for pedestrians. Buses only run every hour or so to Taunton or
Minehead.

Question 26
