At Lundy Bay, the footpath from the car park leads to 3 small beaches. The first two make up Lundy Bay; the one on the right is Epphaven Cove. At high tide the beaches are rocky. At low tide they join up to form a beautiful sandy beach. About half way along there is a collapsed cave forming an arch onto the beach which you can walk through at low tide and see from the path on the way down.
On the left-hand side of the beach there are some good rockpools with impressively large anemonies, and if you want to forage for some seafood there are quite large mussels on the rocks at low tide.
The bay is relatively sheltered and faces NNW so when the surf is being blown out elsewhere by a southerly it can be a good option, particularly at low tide when there are long rolling breaks across the beach which can barrel.
The headlands surrounding the beach are covered with primroses in Spring and there are bluebells along the path during April and May. The path to the beach is surrounded by blackthorn trees. In Spring these are covered in white blossom, and in Autumn they have lots of sloes - handy if you fancy making Sloe Gin.
