Tunnels Beaches
Click to enlarge images below:
A truly unique experience: four tunnels provide access to a beautiful area of coastline and coves, seemingly miles away from any town.
A large tidal swimming pool is still in use and is hugely popular with children who can enjoy their inflatables and snorkelling in safety. Parents love being only yards from the water's edge, whatever the state of the tide.
Stroll through the tunnels, reading interesting and amusing history information and take in the lovely coastal and sea views of Lundy Island and South Wales.
Alternatively spend the whole day playing on the beach, in the pool or rock pooling …. Tunnels Beaches is Ilfracombe's must-see attraction all year round.
