| Best time to go | Opening hour on weekdays in April-June and September. Avoid summer weekends when the A39 is gridlocked. |

| Food | The Beach Café. |
| Money saver | English Heritage members go free; book a timed slot ahead |
| Top tips | Cross the bridge early before queues, then walk the headland. Wear sturdy shoes; steep steps make prams hard. Park in the village and walk. |
| What to pack | Sturdy shoes, windproofs, carrier instead of a pram |
