Wild Pear Beach

One of the most secret beaches in North Devon, Wild Pear Beach is completely off the beaten track. More suited to families with older kids, Wild Pear Beach, is a bit of an adventure to get to with a short hike in and accessed by rope due to a landslide on the last 20 metres of path. The cove nestles the sand and protects it from the wind, which is perhaps why the area is so popular for sunbathing. An idyllic, protected cove surrounded by high cliffs Wild Pear Beach is a gem of a spot – perfect for families wanting to immerse themselves in nature. With it’s northerly aspect into the Bristol Channel (you can see Wales on a clear day) Wild Pear beach is totally safe to swim in with no crashing surf. Park in the Kiln pay & display car park in Combe Martin and take the coastal path east for 20-25 mins. After the 5 bar gate you’ll spot a sign post down to Wild Pear beach. A decent path continues for 5-10 mins until you hit the landslide. Ease yourself down on the rope and voila, Wild Pear beach awaits.
