Visit Lynmouth Beach
Lynmouth is enclosed by a National Park in an area referred to as ‘The little Switzerland of England’. It is an idyllic location for a walk to enjoy the unspoilt scenery. There are two beaches here.
The charming harbour and shingle beach known as Lynmouth West Beach, which lies beneath the cliffs was once a herring port, today, many of the traditional fishermans buildings have been turned in to holiday cottages and B&Bs.
Explore the surrounding area along the South West Coast Path or stroll along the esplanade
Lynmouth East beach, also known as Blacklands beach, overlooked by Countisbury Hill can be reached by crossing over the Lyn River towards Countisbury Hill. There are no facilities but dogs are welcome all year round on this beach.
Did you Know? Lynmouth Beach connects to its sister village of Lynton, 500ft above, by a unique water operated cliff railway dating back to 1890
Lynton & Lynmouth Cliff Railway is worth a visit. It is the highest & steepest water-powered railway in the world, with a clifftop terrace & cafe.
