Doniford Beach and St Audries Bay are two beautiful beaches located in Somerset, England, each offering unique experiences for visitors. .
Doniford Beach is a mud and sand beach characterised by numerous rocks and rock pools. The tides at Doniford Beach rise quickly, and the mud can be thick. However, this makes it an ideal location for fossil hunting. The beach is equipped with all necessary facilities in the nearby village and has a discreet car park situated right by the beach, just after Doniford Farm Park. Alternatively, the beach can also be accessed from Watchet at low tide.
St Audries Bay, located near Watchet in Somerset, boasts a picturesque beach with stunning sea views, a wide open sand and pebble beach. The beach itself is a mix of sand, pebbles, shingle, and rocks. The wide bay is bordered by unstable cliffs primarily composed of mudstones, siltstones, and marls. A notable feature of St Audries Bay is the presence of two waterfalls that cascade down the cliffs, with one of them being particularly impressive as it plunges directly onto the pebbled beach below. Visitors can walk along the western side of the beach at low tide to find the famous St Audries waterfall. The beach is backed by family holiday parks and accommodation. Visitors can access St Audries Bay via a path leading from the Home Farm Holiday Centre, which offers parking and basic amenities such as toilets and a small shop. The walk to the beach involves a 150-yard trek down a wide track followed by a short flight of steps. Dogs are permitted on the beach at all times, making it a dog-friendly destination.
Both Doniford Beach and St Audries Bay offer unique experiences. Doniford Beach is ideal for those interested in fossil hunting, while St Audries Bay provides stunning sea views and picturesque waterfalls.
