Make sure to pop into the Seal View Café next to the car park for refreshments, which was recently visited by Hollywood actor Tom Hiddleston.
3. Wells
Start at The Quay, home to fabulous fish and chip shops, cafés and more, and then take a stroll up the long path towards Wells Beach, which runs alongside the harbour.
Step out into a vast expanse of golden sand lined with immaculately kept colourful beach huts.
