There is a slipway leading to a sandy and rocky beach that is ideal for families, where you can swim in the sea, fish in the rock pools or just lie there and enjoy the sunshine.
The Quay beach is safe for bathing and there are numerous exciting coves within walking and motoring distance. |

Excellent sport may be obtained fishing for bass from the rocks immediately below the hotel where fish up to 6lbs have been caught. Our beach is a dog free zone all year round.

Hartland Abbey was built in 1169 and originally housed the monks who worshipped at the beautiful church of St Nectan's in Stoke.
It was dissolved in 1539 and was given as a gift to William Abbot, Henry VIII's chief butler seven years later. |
It has passed through the family and is now owned by Sir Hugh Stucley and is open to the public. Not only is there the historic house to see but also the astonishing gardens. There are some beautiful walks down to the sea and teas to refresh you afterwards.

The Lighthouse has a beam that is visible from about 20 miles out to sea. There are excellent views up and down the rugged north coast from Hartland Point. |

Twenty minutes walk South of Hartland Quay is the famous and most beautiful waterfall on the north Devon coast is that of Spekes Mill Mouth.
The two streams that rise on the high ground of Bursdon Moor meet near Lymebridge and wind their way through the secluded Spekes Valley before cascading down a shear rock face sixty feet, through a series of four smaller falls before finely reaching the sea.
At low tide there are often sandy stretches running down to the shore. Surfers like to visit Spekes Mill for it's renowned reef brake, yet it remains peaceful and quiet even at the height of summer.
