Nesting peregrine falcons, regular visits from playful seals, graceful porpoise
- Tunnels Beaches is a great place to view wildlife. There's also an abundance
of fish - sea bass, pollock and conger eels (see below!) amongst many others.

Did you know?...

Tunnels Beaches remains the location of the only confirmed UK sighting of a Hammerhead Shark!

It was caught out by the ebbing tide and was stranded in the ladies bathing pool
in July, 1865.

With great difficulty and some risk it was secured by ropes and triumphantly
towed into Ilfracombe harbour; it was then placed in a cart and drawn through
the streets. On measurement, it was found to be 13ft 7" in length!
