Sillery Sands

Sillery Sands is a small beach of sand and light shingle, situated south-west of Foreland Point. Due to storm damage, this beach is now only accessible along the shore from Lynmouth on very low tides. Normally, the closest parking would be at laybys on the descent from Countisbury to Lynmouth. The coastal path runs just below the road, and the path to the beach branches off a little further up. Unfortunately this has been closed, and is becoming overgrown due to lack of use / maintenance. It ends approximately 20 feet above the shore, where the steps have been washed away and there isn't a way down these last few feet without a rope or a ladder.

Recently the beach has been affected by landslides, and coastguards advise people to stay away - particularly after any heavy rainfall.
