Wild Pear Beach is a small, secluded cove of sand and rocks located just north of Combe Martin in North Devon, within the Exmoor National Park. It is situated beneath dramatic sea cliffs, including Little Hangman, which are among the highest in England. The beach faces north into the Bristol Channel, offering views towards Wales on clear days. Access for paddlers is exclusively via the water; there is no direct vehicle or trailer launch point at the beach itself. The typical starting point for a paddle to Wild Pear Beach is Combe Martin Beach, approximately 4.5 kilometers away for a return trip. Launching from Combe Martin Beach involves a 50-meter carry from the Kiln car park in the town. The route from Combe Martin follows the coastline past Lester Point, exploring rocky inlets, pools, and old mine drainage tunnels before reaching the remote Wild Pear Beach. This journey is recommended for more experienced paddlers, as conditions must be suitable to continue past Lester Point. The cove itself is sheltered, with no crashing surf, making it a calmer spot once reached. The surrounding cliffs provide significant protection from the wind. Due to its secluded nature and the challenging cliff path for walkers, the beach is known for being private and is frequented by naturists. There are no lifeguard services or public amenities at the beach. Landing at nearby Small Mouth is prohibited as it is a wedding venue, and entry into Watermouth Harbour is strictly forbidden for paddlers. The water is noted for its turquoise appearance near Broadsands Beach further along the coast. The area is characterized by its dramatic geological scenery, with lush, verdant cliffs and a wilderness feel, being out of sight of civilization.
