Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Nice small beach, good access to the sea. Ok for a few hours. Roadside parking available at a reasonable price, payable by cash or ringo app.

Such a beautiful, sheltered beach. So relaxing and peaceful. The cabin serves wonderful food at lunch time and Sri Lankan curries in the evening. We are thrilled we found this beach and the food cabin.

We got there early when it was quiet and there was plenty of space. It's a relatively small cove, shell/shale mix with gorgeous blue sea.
Once busy it was too crowded due to its size, but lovely for a few hours sunbathing.
Snack bar does nice baguettes.
I'd read about this 'hidden gem' online but not sure it was particularly special, probably wouldn't go again but nice enough.

Barricane Beach used to be a hidden gem; a secluded cove tucked away. However due to Facebook it is now much sought after due to the curries and (without meaning to offend) is now more like a mini Ibiza. Crowded and noisy. It has become a victim of its own success and in my view is now spoilt (although I'm sure many will disagree)

Nice beach spoilt by dogs not on leads, a large sign saying this is ignored . It’s treated like a dog playground. Had to leave, barking, owners shouting, awful

Interesting little beach, with more character than neighbouring Woolacombe. Good for rockpools and had sandy area, but approached over shale, so needed beach shoes. Sadly, we didn't find any shells, but maybe this was because we were there as the tide was coming in, rather than low tide. We watched the sunset and the moon rise. Beautiful. Downsides - no toilets at the beach, you'll need to walk 5 minutes to Woolacombe; very crowded at high tide. Beach cafe does great curries.

You have to go here! It's such a lovely little beach. Can get a bit busy as it's quite small. But it's well worth giving a try.
Water was so clear when we went.
Lovely vibe down there. Highly recommended 😎

Hi
There is on street parking outside the entrance to the cover which charges £1.10 per hour for a maximun 4 hours stay.
Charges are in place April to September
There is a large car park a 3 minute walk away which charges anywhere from £4-£6 for the day depending on the season or you can park on south street area a 5-10 minute walk away for an hour free april to September or it is free after 1800.
It is a stoney/shingle beach so there is a selection of stones and shells. Unsure if there is any seaglass
