Wildersmouth beach is a gorgeous sand and shingle haven located right near Ilfracombe town. It’s sheltered by rocks and a rocky cliff towards the westside, with stunning views looking east towards the town. At high tide, the water covers almost all of the beach, something that made it a great spot for smugglers in the past. The cove is lined with a stone sea-wall, and a promenade trails behind. The East Wilder and West Wilder streams flow into the sea by way of a tunnel at the beach, and the South-West Coast Path passes through it. Wildersmouth beach may be close to the town, but it’s still less busy than other local sandy beaches. Another great thing about Wildersmouth beach is that it’s especially dog-friendly! Your furry friend can explore the rocky terrain, paddle in the water and even enjoy some tasty treats at a nearby dog-friendly café or pub. Jump into the welcoming atmosphere of Ilfracombe by visiting the Tourist Information Office, and be sure to swing by the local museum when you’re there — the curiosities that inhabit it will be sure to leave you in awe.
