On the coast near Berrynarbor lies the pretty cove of Watermouth,
with its gently shelving
shoreline and many rock
pools. This naturally
sheltered harbour
provides moorings for
pleasure craft and forms
part of the Voluntary
Marine Conservation Area,
which runs along the
length of coastline from
Combe Martin to
Woolacombe. Watermouth's other main attraction is Watermouth Castle, one of the largest family tourist attractions in North Devon. Based in and around a castle, there are displays, exhibits and attractions for all age ranges.

Watermouth Bay
Watermouth cove is a very secluded harbour creating
an ecosystem for many rare marine species. Surrounded by rocks the bay
is sheltered from wind and tidal forces. Many boats moor here for this
reason.
