Walk 4 Along the Jurassic Coast (2.5 miles)
Difficulty:
A superb and highly recommended coastal walk of moderate difficulty along the Jurassic Coast.
The Walk
A It follows a rare & unique beach landscape between Orcome Point and Sandy Bay below the dramatic Jurassic cliffs - dogs will have plenty of space.
B The South Beach Cafe 
is a popular half way point. Unfortunately, the coastal path has been altered from the café, and there is currently no proper signage in place. Devon Cliffs has submitted a planning application to East Devon District Council to relocate several chalets, but this has not yet been acted upon by the council. For now, head west and follow the informal route that winds between the chalets.
C It returns following a well defined public footpath along the cliffs.
You could also follow the beach to Sandy Bay and return the same way - views are always most spectacular!
During high tides it will be impossible to complete this walk!
Caution! Do check the tides !
