    Hi Everyone!…read more Sidmouth beach well were to I start? the beach is pebbled though when the tide goes out there's lots of sand! For Tide Times: http://www.sidmouthherald.co.uk/sidmouthherald/flatfiles/tides/tides.aspx There are no longer lifegaurds on the beach, but the sea never has large waves in the summer, so not for surfers I'm afraid. The lifeboat is always there ready for any emergencies. There are some great rock pools when the tide goes out, head towards Jacobs Ladder. the beach doesn't have an EU Blue Flag (2009) because of the Napile which meant that this year some oil spills were found on the beach. this is no longer a problem, I see the beach every weekend and I haven't found a oil spill so don't worry. Top tips 1 - don't swim between the two rocky sea defences in the sea, people get in to trouble (however good you are at swimming) 2- good at low tide and take a bet for rock pooling, you'll be amazed what you can find! 3 - generally head away from the town for more sand! 4 - take some sun tan lotion, a BBQ and some drinks for the ultimate day at the beach

    A rocky affair on the south coast in sleepy Sidmouth. It's famous for the boxing day swim - an…read moreannual event held to raise money for the RNLI. Every year, hundreds of people dressed in various costumes dive into the freezing waters of the English channel, and paddle around a bit. It's quite hilarious to watch. I won't be participating myself however, since I can't swim...

    Lovely beach. Can get crowded in the summer but it's so worth it. Parking is available on the…read morebeach, and super handy if you're going surfing or boarding. Plenty of shops n restaurants there for a bite or to pick up some sun cream. Clears out fast when sun starts going down. Plenty of the shops have free wi-fi if you need it.

    Every time we holiday in Cornwall we spend at least one afternoon on Polzeath. It's not as good as…read moreHolywell Bay(see review) overall but it has many decent features. I'm glad HB hasn't got bustling surfwear shops and coffee shops and hippies that'll fleece you £5 to braid you kids hair, but I quite like that here. I suppose it's the contrast that I like. We park in the cliff top car park which has amazing views. A gentle walk round to the town or an impatient hop down the cliff face to the beach. The beach is great apart from the car park on it which is annoying unless I'm lucky to get a space there, then it's brilliant! In low tide the sea goes out quite a way and your left with a totally flat beach for footy, cricket etc. There is a bit of a stream sweeping across the beach - we caught hundreds of tiny tiny fish in it in the summer. On both sides there are loads of rock pools and there's one that's quite deep where you can jump off highish rocks into the water. The sea has quite a fast swell so it's not very safe for little ones and inflateables. The poet John Betjemen loved it here apparently and is buried nearby. In the 'town' there are a handful of beach tat shops, some surf wear shops, pubs and a decent coffe/ ice cream shop. There's also a surf school place there where you can give it a go. A nice place to spend an afternoon - preferably at low tide as the beach all but disappears at high tide.
