Crow Point

When the private road is open and there is an attendant it’s very easy to get to when it’s not open you can’t get there and when there’s no attendant you need to bring the right change. All of this said it’s a beautiful place to be great for the dogs And lovely at virtually any time of day we’ve walked him many many times would definitely recommend for enthusiastic amblers and dog walkers.

Quiet & spaceous! Walked across the sand ( dragging the wife in a wheelchair with a piggy back on the soft stuff) Had a picnic when the tide was out.

Freindly locals who were up for a chat!

A brilliant adventure beach, accessible via toll road (cash only). Plenty of parking and a gorgeous place to go for a walk. There are boat wrecks visible at low tide, which we loved exploring and the kids also found stick dens to play in.

A great area to walk around. Also close to the Assault training and D Day Landing craft mock-ups which are must to visit. There is also a ship wreck which still has the engine in place. Same parking area for all, just £2.50 for the private toll.

A lovely place to take your dog or children to.

Plenty to keep both amused and wide open spaces on the beach.

Accessed by a toll road (£2.50) with a electronic barrier with quite a few speed bumps and passing places before you reach the large parking area which is gravel and can be a bit muddy after prolonged rain.

Parts of the area are Army training grounds but are still accessible.

There are expansive views up river to Barnstaple and across to Instow and Appledore and out to sea.

No toilets or places to get refreshments so you’ll need to make sure you have everything you need for the day.

There’s a lot of driftwood on the beach for children to make camps and shelters and the odd shipwreck to play with.

On a warm summer’s day it’s a lovely place to spend some time walking in the dunes but be aware that there are Adders and it’s best to keep your pet close by as it’s a slow drive to the nearest vet in Braunton.
