St Audries Bay Waterfall
Tourist attraction
😐 A must visit beauty spot near minehead/Taunton on the A39.
A car park at the top of the cliff is a bit on the expensive side (£4) all day if you only want to see the waterfall, but worth it I'd you want to venture further.
Coastal walks either way along the coast are available from here too.
The wat...

Blue Anchor Beach
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Lovely beach for a walk with the dog, occasionally you will see the steam trains go by, this is a pebble beach with no sand areas, also be aware of the fast tides it's easy to get caught closer to the sea wall, overall we love this beach when we visit the family caravan.

Minehead Beach
Tourist attraction
👍👍 A beautiful flat sandy beach to visit anytime,but obviously nicer in the summer.
The panoramic views are amazing from the walkway and sand along the coastline. The tide is usually out, which means plenty of room for walks and families to play or sunbathe.
Family friendly with a row of shops, arcades...

Watchet Lighthouse
Maritime museum
👍 Nice little place to go if you're coming from Minehead or going to Minehead or further. Nice small walk around the harbour and village and I guess no more than an hour to leisurely walk around and take in the sights.
