Crow Point

A great area to walk around. Also close to the Assault training and D Day Landing craft mock-ups which are must to visit. There is also a ship wreck which still has the engine in place. Same parking area for all, just £2.50 for the private toll.

We had such a lovely walk along here, in our opinion it was a bit more interesting than just walking along any other beach.

A lovely place to take your dog or children to. Plenty to keep both amused and wide open spaces on the beach. Accessed by a toll road (£2.50) with a electronic barrier with quite a few speed bumps and passing places before you reach the large parking area which is gravel and can be a bit muddy after prolonged rain. Parts of the area are Army training grounds but are still accessible. There are expansive views up river to Barnstaple and across to Instow and Appledore and out to sea. No toilets or places to get refreshments so you’ll need to make sure you have everything you need for the day. There’s a lot of driftwood on the beach for children to make camps and shelters and the odd shipwreck to play with. On a warm summer’s day it’s a lovely place to spend some time walking in the dunes but be aware that there are Adders and it’s best to keep your pet close by as it’s a slow drive to the nearest vet in Braunton.

Crow point is a lovely stretch of coastline. There's a toll road that you need £2 in coins. The car park is a bit rough but right next to the beach and dunes. You can see across the estuary to Appledore and its a great spot for watersports as well as a family day out, although im not sure the water is good enough for swimming in. Dogs are allowed all year. You can walk to saunton beach, about 3 and a half miles. It's just beautiful.

Lovely to walk and enjoy the superb views! Recommended!
