Wild Pear Beach — Attraction in North Devon

Lovely secluded beach, well protected from the wind. There are two ways to reach this beach. From Kiln car park you have a choice of the coast path, or a short walk into town, and taking the path up through the field. Personally, we found the field path was easier than the coast path. The coast path is a mixture of ups and downs and quite strenuous...just when you think you've reached the top, another hill appears. Whereas the field path is one continuous climb up (or down when you're returning) and you seem to get it over and done with quicker and with less effort. From Kiln car park, either follow the signs for the coast path to the Hangman. Or if you want to try the field path, again from Kiln car park make your way back onto Borough Road, up Rosie Bridge Lane, hang a right by the Forge (careful not to miss it, it's a small narrow path) and this eventually leads to West Challacombe Lane where you will soon see a footpath sign up into the field signposted to the Hangman. Eventually you will be back on the same coast path where you will join it for a while before branching left and down to the beach. Getting onto the beach is definitely NOT easy. You will need good walking boots, a bit of a head for heights and a good sense of balance. There is a rope to help you down. Some people abseil up/down the rocks, but we found it slightly easier crabbing down the loose shingle, but the shingle option is wet in places and you will ideally need waterproof walking boots. You do need to be quite fit to attempt this trek, but it's worth it for most likely having the whole beach to yourself. There is a good deal of sand and several large boulders offering secluded...

Not the easiest place to get to but worth the adventure, although I ache all over now

Ok, we went back planning to camp out all night and what nobody says online is that it's not ( open) 24hrs at all! If we had stayed, the tide would have gotten so high and against the rocks that we would have been in real trouble! If you go here, please check tide times and stay vigilant! Still beautiful though and still had the best time and a giggle with my other half!

Recently the rope has been dismantled due to another land slide! Go at your own risk but I'd advise against it for now! Doubtful the national trust will be able to secure anything until...

Its a nice hidden beach, it is also a nudist beach. I used to love coming here when I was younger because I could climb the rocks from Combe Martin round to wild pear. However my most recent experience here was sickening. There was a man wondering around urinating and masturbating. He also defecated and sat and watched us. This whole experience has completely repulsed me from ever wanting to visit again. I know it's a nudist beach and all but that's...
