Dogs welcome all year
Dogs are welcome all year. Newberry lies outside the Combe Martin Beach restricted area shown in Figure 1 of North Devon Council's order, so the 1 May to 30 September closure next door does not apply here. The two beaches adjoin, so check on-site signage for where the restricted stretch begins.

Overview

Newberry Beach provides a wild and dramatic coastal experience between Combe Martin and Ilfracombe, accessible via the challenging but spectacular South West Coast Path. This secluded cove offers sand and shingle beneath towering cliffs, providing authentic North Devon coastal character for those willing to make the effort. The beach's remote location ensures a peaceful experience away from crowds.

Dogs are welcome year-round due to the wild nature and remote access, making it excellent for adventurous dog owners seeking authentic coastal experiences. The natural setting provides excellent exploration opportunities, while the challenging access ensures the beach remains quiet. The surrounding cliff paths offer some of North Devon's most spectacular walking.

Access requires a significant walk along the coast path from either Combe Martin or Ilfracombe, making it suitable only for confident coastal walkers. Facilities are non-existent due to the remote location, requiring visitors to be completely self-sufficient. The beach provides excellent wildlife watching and photography opportunities. The dramatic cliff setting and wild Atlantic exposure create spectacular conditions for experienced coastal enthusiasts.
