Step 1
Follow the path from the car park down Woodhuish Lane to Man Sands. Along this route you will pass a bird hide, which is the perfect place to stop and look out over Man Sands wetland area.
Step 2
From Man Sands Beach, strike out on the coast path heading right, following signposts to Scabbacombe Beach (approximately 1.5 miles). Enjoy the spectacular views and note Staddon Shales and Meadfoot Slates rocks, which regularly 'slump' onto the beach.
Step 3
From Scabbacobe Beach head inland, following signs for Scabbacombe car park. This secluded beach is a popular spot with nudist bathers and dog walkers. Take care if swimming here as the currents are strong – don't use inflatables.
