Devon ice-creams and a peace and tranquility.

For fantastic low tide rockpooling, cool Devon ice-creams and a peace and tranquility that seems a hundred miles away from the pace of modern life, pack a Saltrock rucksack and head up the Bristol Channel to Lee Bay. Pull on your board shorts and trawl the rockpools at low tide for anemones, barnacles, crabs, starfish and prawns. Gather enough prawns for a lunchtime bar-b-que and spread out one of our soft large beach towels on a smooth sun warmed rock. Check out Devon wildlife trust’s page on what to find in a Devon rockpool Have a wildlife trail to see who can spot the most. Don’t forget to return anything in your bucket at the end of the hunt back to the place you found it.

Wander through the Lee village and imagine the eighteenth century smugglers scurrying down through the wood to pick up an illicit cargo of rum! Grab a fantastic value snorkel and flippers from any of our beach shops and take a swim around the rocks at low tide.

Take a drive down to Ilfracombe and do a spot of crabbing over the railings in the harbour or watch the boats come in at high tide. Time for a special day out? Book a boat trip on The Oldenburg to the Beautiful island of Lundy or up the coast to look for some seals and dolphins – don’t forget your Saltrock hoody as it can get nippy on the water! Walk around the town and spot the Victorian architecture or stop off in The Chocolate Emporium for some really naughty indulgence.



Our Kids love The Tunnels Beach whatever the weather. Take a restorative swim in the old Victorian swimming pool carved out of the rocks – so warm you don’t even need your wetsuit! Watch the kids explore the pools in safety - The Beaches have been rated the 3rd best beach for
rock pooling in the UK by BBC Wildlife Magazine. On a rainy day visit the café and play area – their curly fries are the best in the area!

If you worked up an appetite marching up and down the cliffs then there’s an abundance of Restaurants on offer. Have lunch in Damian Hurst’s Harbourside restaurant 11 The Quay or finish off a perfect day with a relaxing evening. Take a leisurely wander past the harbor and up Fore Street to stop off for a leisurely meal Spanish style at The Terrace Tapas and Wine Bar. Perfect!
