Located at the foot of the Quantock Hills on the Jurassic Coast is the beautiful hidden gem of St Audries Bay. This secluded beach is made up of a mixture of pebbles, sand, shingles, and rock, and two waterfalls cascade down the cliffs onto the beach.

This gorgeous beach is said to have the most interesting geology in Somerset and, like many beaches along this coast, is often frequented by fossil hunters. Fossils can often be found on the beach's foreshore or within any cliff falls. The most unique part of this beach, though, is certainly the two waterfalls.

While some pedantic visitors have argued that these technically aren't waterfalls as they don't typically gush down a tonne of water, they are still often referred to as the 'St Audries waterfalls.'

These waterfalls look particularly stunning following periods of particularly heavy rain. However, be sure to check tide timings before visiting, as the falls are only accessible during low tide.

While visitors can certainly take a dip in the sea if desired, it should be noted that this stretch of the Bristol Channel is particularly murky, with the sand nearest the sea often becoming rather muddy.

Visitors to St Audries have left rave reviews on The Beach Guide website, with one writing: "Despite coming this way for the past 15 years, this was the first time we visited St Audries Bay. I read some poor reviews so was a little sceptical but with the sun shining we had a magical afternoon there I would well recommend."

"Absolutely beautiful, could have sat there for hours. Be warned though could be a bit tricky to get down to if you have a pushchair/ wheelchair due to steps. Definitely worth a visit," added another.

While a third penned: "Great place to escape everyday life. Very nice location, definitely worth visiting."
