St Audries Bay is a holiday park in Somerset.   ‘St Audries Bay’ is located on the West Somerset coast and is based at the foot of the Quantock Hills (An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty). The park has panoramic sea views with Wales and Minehead being visible on a clear day. The beach itself is made up of a mixture of pebbles and limestone pavements.  It is located 25 minutes from Minehead, 1 hour to Weston Super Mare and just 22 minutes to Exmoor National Park. https://www.exmoor-nationalpark.gov.uk/enjoying/stargazing.


As part of the Jurassic Coastline, this beach is made up of Jurassic Lias rocks which cut into the sea with the wave cut platforms presenting a spectacular view.  The alternating red/green beds of mercia mudstones create the perfect backdrop.  As a result of the rock formations this is a popular spot for fossil hunting.  Sometimes you can find whole fossils on the beach. There are regular rockfalls here so stay away from the base of the cliffs and wear a hard hat if fossil hunting.



Walking

From here, you can walk around the bay and admire the beautiful scenery and of course not missing the famous St Audries Bay Waterfall.  The water cascades down the cliff face creating the most stunning waterfall especially after periods of high rainfall.  This walk joins up with the England Coast Path known as the “St Audries Bay Circular” – enjoy the pebble beach, cliff formations and fossil hunting.  Be sure to check the tide times as it’s easy to be cut off by the changing tide.
