Peppercombe Beach is a beach in Devon, England.

This seaside beach is very different from nearby Westward Ho! Unlike that neighbouring beach, Peppercombe offers few sandy spots, but instead has stunning red sandstone cliffs and wooded hillsides as a backdrop. As the tide falls away, rocky fingers can be seen, offering up plenty of enchanting rockpools and some areas of sand. This special spot is owned and managed by the National Trust, and the only way to access it is to walk in either down the valley or via the coast path. It’s an ideal spot for wildlife to flourish, with seals, dolphins, porpoises and ospreys often seen here amongst the wildflowers and butterflies.
