What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors rave about Weston Mouth Beach as a 'hidden gem' with 'breathtaking scenery' and 'crystal clear water.' The secluded pebble beach is a major draw, offering a peaceful escape even on busy days. However, the challenging walk down and steep uphill return journey are frequently mentioned, requiring good footwear and a moderate level of fitness.
"Great little beach. 1 mile walk from the donkey sanctuary, uneven paths through fields etc but a lovely walk.
Can hear the river alongside as it opens out to the sea. Steep steps down to the beach.
Nudist beach to the right."

"Beautiful Wolf Beach is worth the visit, but getting there isn't easy. The GPS didn't provide clear instructions on where to park, and the hike down to the beach takes about 30 minutes at a slow pace. The return trip is similar in duration, but it's more of a workout as you'll be walking uphill.
I recommend wearing light clothing and good footwear, as I carried chairs and many bags, which made it a struggle.
The best is to park in Weston little car park and walk down from there."
