Its exceptional pebble ridge-backed sandy beach draws tourists from all over the nation with its outstanding bathing and watersports opportunities. Northam Burrows Country Park, which is located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and contains 253 hectares of grassy coastal plain with salt marsh, sand dunes, and grasslands, is just beyond the pebble ridge. The oldest golf course in England is located in the national park. Both the well-known Tarka Trail and the South West Coastal Path are nearby, offering wonderful opportunities for biking and strolling. One mile down the road are the award-winning Big Sheep all-weather family attraction and the Ultimate Adventure Center, and two miles distant are the Atlantic Village Outlet Shopping Center and Supermarket.
