Tunnels Beaches

Tunnels Beaches is a unique beach venue located in Devon, backed by cliffs and offering stunning views of the coast. The beach is known for its natural beauty, particularly when the tide goes out and the rocks appear, making it an ideal spot for activities such as paddle boarding, snorkeling, and swimming. However, visitors should be mindful of the rocks when the tide is in. The beach is divided into multiple levels, allowing visitors to enjoy panoramic views of the surroundings. One of the highlights of a visit to Tunnels Beaches is the opportunity to watch the sunset from a great vantage point, often around a fire pit. In addition to the beach itself, there are other attractions such as tunnels and arcades. The tunnels, in particular, are of historical interest as they were chipped by hand in the early 1800s, before the invention of dynamite. There are also accounts of historical events and disasters available for visitors to read. The beach has modern, clean, and welcoming facilities, including changing rooms and toilets. There is also a small shop that sells drinks and food, and beach chairs are available for rent. Despite these amenities, the beach maintains a relaxed atmosphere and is not typically overcrowded. Access to the beach is through a ticket system, which allows re-entry throughout the day. However, parking can be challenging, with visitors often needing to search for a space. It should also be noted that dogs are not allowed on the beach.
