Minehead Beach is a beach in Somerset, England.

In 2001, a daring and costly mission to restore Minehead’s north-facing sand and shingle beach, which had been nearly eradicated by a fierce storm in 1990, came to fruition. We are now blessed to have a spectacular beach retreat, perfect for swimming, kite-surfing and windsurfing – not to mention easy access to amusement arcades, the beginning of the South West Coast Path and the West Somerset Railway.
