This beach is a hidden gem that can be reached through a narrow country lane leading to an NT car park. The sand on the beach is gray, adding to its unique charm.

If you're in the Bude area, make sure to check out this beach. It's definitely worth a visit. The beach has gray sand, and there's a national trust car park nearby. You can also find a cafe with fantastic seating and views. However, be cautious as you make your way down to the beach, as the path is very stony and uneven. At the end of the path, there are steps that lead you to a pebble-covered beach.

The beach is stunning during low tide, but be sure to plan your visit as the water reaches the cobbles at high tide. Additionally, accessing the beach may be a bit of a challenge. It's worth noting that the sand on this beach is gray in color.

This beach is an absolute marvel with its magnificent striated red cliffs and two cascading waterfalls that grace the shore. The sheer abundance of grey pebbles and rocks is something I have never seen before. It is a tranquil and serene location that is definitely worth the journey.
