Wildersmouth Beach

Visit Wildersmouth Beach

Wildersmouth Beach is a charming sand and shingle beach located in Ilfracombe, North Devon, just a short distance from the famous Tunnels beach.

Wildersmouth Beach is suitable for swimming and sunbathing, especially during low tide when more beach area is exposed. The rocky areas around the beach provide opportunities for exploring rock pools, making it a fun spot for families and children.

At high tide, the beach can be almost entirely submerged, which may limit beach activities during those times. It’s advisable to check tide times before planning your visit.

Did you Know? In the mid 1800’s Wildersmouth Beach was designated for ladies bathing.

Wildersmouth Beach is close to the town center of Ilfracombe, making it easily accessible for visitors.

Wildersmouth Beach is dog-friendly! It provides a great environment for dogs to explore the rocks and splash in the water. There are no restrictions on dogs, allowing them to enjoy the beach freely. Additionally, there are several dog-friendly cafes and pubs in nearby Ilfracombe, making it a convenient spot for dog owners to relax and enjoy their time at the beach
