Wild Pear Beach

Challenging trek to reach the beach but well worth it. Great time spent scrambling over rocks across the cove and fantastic for a bit of skinny dipping. Gorgeous place

Bit of a tricky hike down but a lovely little cove

Not very easy access being via narrow steep footpath but worth the climb up and down to the beach. Not for the less able.

Lovely secluded beach, well protected from the wind. There are two ways to reach this beach. From Kiln car park you have a choice of the coast path, or a short walk into town, and taking the path up through the field. Personally, we found the field path was easier than the coast path. The coast path is a mixture of ups and downs and quite strenuous...just when you think you've reached the top, another hill appears. Whereas the field path is one continuous climb up (or down when you're returning) and you seem to get it over and done with quicker and with less effort. From Kiln car park, either follow the signs for the coast path to the Hangman. Or if you want to try the field path, again from Kiln car park make your way back onto Borough Road, up Rosie Bridge Lane, hang a right by the Forge (careful not to miss it, it's a small narrow path) and this eventually leads to West Challacombe Lane where you will soon see a footpath sign up into the field signposted to the Hangman. Eventually you will be back on the same coast path where you will join it for a while before branching left and down to the beach. Getting onto the beach is definitely NOT easy. You will need good walking boots, a bit of a head for heights and a good sense of balance. There is a rope to help you down. Some people abseil up/down the rocks, but we found it slightly easier crabbing down the loose shingle, but the shingle option is wet in places and you will ideally need waterproof walking boots. You do need to be quite fit to attempt this trek, but it's worth it for most likely having the whole beach to yourself. There is a good deal of sand and several large boulders offering secluded sunbathing spots.

First time visitor (full review to follow). When we pulled up to the hut and saw the accommodation and the breathtaking views the wife said I'm not sure I will want to leave here'...I think she may just be right."

good walk lovely beach very picturesque. but bit of a climb at the end though!

Stunning secluded bay, a fairly tough walk to get to but worth it. There's a rope near the end which helps you down to it and also back up if needed! Google maps doesn't say this, but it is also a Naturist beach. Watch out!

Nice little beach, easy access for the adventurous

Just went down this morning. Was so lovely.The path down is overgrown and the signpost to it has been taken down. Also at the bottom you have to use a rope to 'abseil' down about 10ft. Quite exciting to get to a very secluded beach! Enter at your own peril!

Love this Beach done it many many times but today the ride was out explored nearly one end to the other totally amazing
