Beckfoot

At certain times and tides, the remains of a prehistoric forest can be seen on the sand beds here. To the south of the village is the site of a 2nd-century Roman fort known as Bibra. According to an inscribed stone found here, it was once occupied by an Auxilary Cohort of 500 Pannonians (Spaniards) and surrounded by a large civilian settlement. The small stream flowing into the sea was used in World War One as a fresh water supply by German U-boats.

A mile or so south of Beckfoot is the Bank Mill Nurseries Visitor Centre which promises a great day out for all the family. In addition to the plant nurseries, the site contains a Tropical Butterfly House, home o the largest number of species of butterfly and moth in the world; a lizard house with species from all around the world; and a Nature Reserve that provides a refuge for the endangered natterjack toads. Foxes and badgers can also be seen and there's a hide for birdwatchers. Also on site is the Dunes Coffee Shop, wich becomes a licensed bistro in the evenings.
