Tucked away underneath the cliffs of the Ness Headland is the secluded beach of Ness Cove. The beach here is nearly always less busy than nearby Teignmouth ,and as a result it is popular with locals.
Access to the beach is through the intriguingly-named Smuggler’s Tunnel, which leads the visitor through the rocks of the Jurassic Cliffs out onto the beach. Smugglers never actually used the tunnel itself, but it was undoubtedly once the haunt of those bringing contraband in and out of the country.
