Lee Bay

Lee Bay is a small rocky cove on the North Devon coast roughly halfway between Morte Point and Ilfracombe.

Located just east of Damage Hue Cliff, Lee Bay is relatively sheltered from most storms. The geology here is quite spectacular with the slate cliffs contorted and folded.

The beach is easily accessed and has a mixture of rock, shingle and sand and is backed by a low sea wall. At low water several rock pools are uncovered to entertain the younger members of your group.

The South West Coast Path runs behind the beach on its way west to Damage Hue and Bull Point or east towards Ilfracombe.

It is possible to head east and explore Broadoar Bay and surrounding coves if you wish, but please always be aware of the state of the tide and don't get cut off!

The picturesque village of Lee lies behind the beach within a deep valley with wooded sides and has some interesting shops as well as its only public house, The Grampus Inn with parts of the building dating back to the 14th Century.
