Visit Maidencombe Beach
Maidencombe Beach is a charming small sandy beach with rockpools to explore at low tide.
The beach is backed by large boulders and a grassy cliff, and access for families with young children and the elderly can be difficult. It is on the South West Coast path perfect for hiking along the Coast.
Look out for the lovely local seals, lounging on the rocks, basking in the sunshie.
Dogs are allowed on the beach all year round

The access is steep, so it’s best for fit dogs and confident owners. The café allows dogs outside, which means treats for humans too.
A rewarding walk with a workout built in.
