Millook Haven looking North towards Penhalt Cliff and Bude

Millook Haven beach consists mainly of coarse shingle and quite large pebbles driven up into a 'storm ridge' parallel with the shore. The northwest facing beach is backed by Penalt Cliff whose notable feature is its series of recumbent folds in the rock strata - a geologists dream! There are good cliff walks for the more experienced walker south to Bynorth and the Dizzard and north to Widemouth Sand.
