Latest reviews on Watchet's beaches

Kilve Beach
10 Iris Feltham

This is the best beach I've been to for finding fossils! The views are amazing and there are plenty of fossils to discover. However, collecting them is not allowed and I wouldn't suggest swimming or paddling here because of the strong current.

Lilstock Beach
10 Jax

This spot is incredibly peaceful with stunning views and an abundance of small fossils. I visited with two 11-year-olds, an 8-year-old, and a 6-year-old, and they all had a blast exploring freely. We dipped our toes in the sea, enjoyed a picnic, and discovered fossils, a dead thornray skeleton, and plenty of beautiful driftwood. It's an ideal destination for nature and outdoor enthusiasts. The beach is challenging to walk on due to the large stones, so I recommend wearing old trainers, walking boots, wellies, or walking sandals. It's not suitable for those with mobility issues, very young children, or babies. There's a flat, stony, grassy path that runs along the top of the beach, leading all the way to Kilve, about 2 miles away. A small, free parking area is accessible via a rough track, followed by a short walk to the beach or coast path. From here, you can see the imposing Hinkley building work to your right and, on a clear day, Burnham On Sea, Brean Down, Steepholm, Flatholm, and even Wales in the distance. There are no facilities here, which adds to its charm. This place may not appeal to everyone, but if you enjoy scrambling over rocks, searching for pebbles and fossils, and spending time outdoors, it's definitely worth a visit.

This town is lovely, boasting a stunning sandy beach with gorgeous views of Cardiff, Wales in the distance. There are plenty of shops and pubs to explore, as well as a beautiful garden park.

Bossington beach

While the pebbly terrain may pose a slight challenge for some, the beach offers a serene and refreshing walk towards the NT Car Park upon returning from Hurlstone Point. Its unique texture and natural beauty make it a pleasant alternative to conventional walks.
