The Beaches of Somerset - Blue Anchor West
This map is part of the Ordnance Survey's Explorer series designed to replace the old Pathfinder map series. At 1:25,000 scale this detailed map shows a host of attractions including gardens which are open to the public, nature reserves and country parks as well as all official footpaths, bridleways, roads and lanes. Other facilities covered include: camping and caravan sites, picnic areas and viewpoints, selected places of interest, rights of way information for England and Wales, National Trail and Recreational Path routes, and selected tourist information. The series is aimed mainly at the experienced map user but can be used by tourists and locals alike.
A north facing sand and shingle beach great for finding fossils. Please be aware of the very fast tides however. The water quality was recorded as a Basic Pass by the Marine Conservation Society for the three years 2008 to 2010. The beach is designated as European bathing water.
Local facilities include toilets and disabled toilets. Parking is available adjacent to the beach. Activities include searching for fossils.
