description Lee Bay Overview
Lee Bay is a small cove on the North Devon coast near Ilfracombe. Accessible via a narrow lane through a wooded valley locally known as "Fuchsia Valley" due to the abundance of wild fuchsia plants, the beach consists mainly of rocks and pebbles with sand visible at low tide. The cove is sheltered by surrounding hills and has limited facilities, making it a quiet destination away from Devon's more popular beaches.
