This wonderfully secluded beach regarded by some as 'the jewel in the crown of Lee' is located 2 miles West of Ilfracombe a designated area of outstanding natural beauty. You will find yourself bordered on three sides by rolling Devonshire countryside and on the fourth by the Bristol Channel.

The picturesque village of Lee enjoys a maritime climate heavily wooded in places offering some stunning local walks. During the flowering season many of the village hedgerows are ablaze with the scarlet flowers causing Lee to be locally referred to as 'Fuchsia Valley'. However bathers should be aware there are no lifeguards and the area is known for its strong currents.
