Best Beaches in Ilfracombe: for nature, surfing, and vibes!
"The tunnels beaches are some of the most unique beaches in Ilfracombe – they are a network of secluded beaches that are connected by Victorian tunnels. These tunnels were carved out in the 1820s to give tourists access to the beach, as before this they had to clamber over the rocks!. The beaches are still open to the public, but you must pay a small fee to enter."

Beach
Mentioned by Calvert Trust Exmoor
Calvert Trust Archives
"Broad Sands is not a large and well-known beach, it’s a secret gem that many locals wish to keep to themselves. Broad Sands is a small cove hidden on the coast of Exmoor, and it’s an adventure to get to. It’s not reachable by road, but by parking at the top of the cliff and taking a path and 200 steps down to the sand."

"Rockham Bay is a little known beach on the coastal track from Morte Point to Bull Point. Rockham Bay is one of the secret beaches in North Devon, generally only known by locals or campers who stay in the magnificently positioned North Morte Farm campsite slap bang on the coastal fields, only 50m from the beach. Owned by the National Trust, Rockham is a secluded rocky sandy beach, fabulous for rock pooling but sandy enough for kids."

"The starting point for Culture Trip’s action-packed trip to Devon, Ilfracombe Beach sits right next to Ilfracombe Harbour, so you just have to walk past the slipway and onto the sand to access it. Wander past the moored boats, stroll across to Ilfracombe Lifeboat Station or simply find a spot on the sand to eat your obligatory fish and chips. Just watch out for the seagulls."

The 50 best restaurants in Cardiff in 2021
"Back in 2018, Sushi Life sprang from what seemed like nowhere to be rated the top restaurant in Cardiff on TripAdvisor. The 1980s-style red-brick building you'll find it in couldn't be further away from the colourful makis, California rolls, ramens, curries and rice dishes you'll find on the plates inside. 'Hell in the Kitchen' rolls come filled with prawn tempura, cucumber and avocado, topped with tuna, Japanese mayonnaise and sriracha sauce, while spicy tuna rolls combine tuna (obviously), avocado, cucumber, sesame seeds, that mayo, chilli powder and chives."
