The views from the coast path north-west of Challaborough are great. The beach is beautiful, and you can see Burgh Island in the background.

Burgh Island is a tidal island, a short distance off the coast of Bigbury-on-Sea. It's separated by a sandbar which you can walk across at low tide. When the tide comes in, there is a tall tractor bus which can take you across. The island has a quirky pub and a posh art deco hotel.
