Steeped in history, Tunnels Beaches makes a fascinating visit for all ages...

Hand carved in the 1820's, the four tunnels provide a truly unique experience. Read extensive history information throughout the site – including hilarious guides to Victorian etiquette for boys, girls and for when boating with ladies!

Learn how local entrepreneurs developed the tunnels and pools, and transformed Ilfracombe from a small fishing village into a popular seaside tourist resort.

Sit back and admire the lovely rugged scenery while the kids play safely in the tidal pool or explore our fantastic rock pools - we've been rated the 3rd best beach for rock pooling in the UK by BBC Wildlife Magazine.

We are featured in many travel/adventure books and have become a very popular spot in recent years for 'Wild Swimmers' due to the safe swimming conditions our tidal pool offers - whatever the weather conditions! Please note: Our tidal pool is visible for 3hrs before and after low tide.
