St Audries Bay
Set at the foot of the Quantock Hills is the wide bay of St Audries. A mix of flat pebbles, sand, shingle and rock this is one of the best beaches in the area. As with all the beaches on this stretch of coast the sand gets muddier towards the sea and the waters of the Bristol Channel are distinctly murky.
One of the nicest features of St Audries Bay are the two waterfalls which cascade down the cliffs along the back of the beach.
Access is via a path leading down from the local holiday park, which also provides parking and a shop. Whilst the path is well maintained it is still a bit of a hike down a fair number of steps to the beach.

Sep 20th 2020This beach is pretty good for having a dip in. A bit seaweedy but we had a lovely dip in there a few weeks ago.
Have eanted to vist for ages ,waterfall on cliffs worth seeing, beach great place for kids to explire track to beach muddy and steep, so would possibly be a orobken to those with mobility issues.
The coastal path go though the bay ,we walked a few miles ,lovely views,very muddy in parts..
Parking a little on the expensive side,I’m not sure I would return but worth visting once
Well worth the adventure

Apr 03rd 2021Despite coming this way for the past 15 years this was the first time we visited St Audries Bay. I read some poor reviews so was a little sceptical but with the sun shining we had a magical afternoon there i would well recommend.
Stunning

Jul 20th 2021Absolutely beautiful, could of sat there for hours
Be warned though could be a bit tricky to get down to if you have a pushchair/ wheelchair due to steps
Definitely worth a visit
