Beach
The beach itself is 3 miles long, with 3 separate entrances.
There’s the slipway which can be reached from the front, where all the shops, cafes and restaurants are.
There is the pebble ridge entrance which goes through the golf course but you can still easily get on to the beach over the pebble ridge. In summer, dogs are only allowed to the right of the pebble ridge, or at the Appledore entrance - you can’t take them on from the slipway.
Then there’s the Appledore entrance which is traditionally more for walks rather than beach days, due to the currents in the estuary

Sightseeing
Recently used to film Mallory Towers. This historic, beautiful landmark is a favourite spot for photographing nature. Sometimes during the year they also open up the walk down to the beach which is lovely, and not too strenuous

Hockings Ice Cream
Dotted all around North Devon, Hockings is a locally made (Appledore) ice cream, made from clotted cream. Once you’ve had one, I guarantee you will never look at Mr Whippy the same way again 😋. You can buy by the cone and by the tub!

Special Occasions
If you’re celebrating a special occasion when you visit we can highly recommend The Bakeaway (on Facebook and Instagram) - she’s local and makes a fantastic chocolate drip cake with chocolate bars of your choice on top. We’ve ordered 3 from there in the last 2 months 🙂
