A Day Trip to Branscombe in Devon

If you’re in the Devon area, you should take a day trip to Branscombe. With its quaint pubs and pebble beach, this seaside village is great no matter what the season. Settled between Sidmouth and Beer, it’s a great place to spend the day and grab either a hot chocolate or ice cream, depending the season.

I’ve been here a couple of times now, once in the winter and just recently {in August}. Each time I wore my wellies {rainboots for the American readers}, which has always been a good decision. You’ll find yourself wanting to explore the rocks along the beach, picking them up in search of sea creatures. You might even be lucky enough to find some fossils!

On your way to the beach, stop for a snack, hot drink or ice cream in the summertime at the Sea Shanty Beach Café. It’s a casual café with great snacks and killer lattes. The people are so friendly, you won’t want to leave.

There are walking trails along the cliffs, though I haven’t yet made it to those along this beach, but I’m sure the views are spectacular.

If you don’t fancy the beach, there’s plenty of streets to discover with the stone buildings and pops of colour. Stroll through the streets and say hello to the locals, they’re lovely. xo
