Meadfoot Beach

A small stretch of shingle beach nestled below an array of spectacular cliffs provides a perfect setting for those who prefer a quieter environment in which to relax. The impressive crescent shaped Osbourne Hotel overlooks the beach and the spilt level promenade backs onto a tree covered hillside.
