Watermouth Cove, north Devon
Top 25 Anchorages > West coast and Wales > Watermouth Cove
This snug and shallow inlet, situated opposite Waterworth Castle, is well sheltered from all but the strongest northwesterlies. The view from the anchorage is striking, with impressive headlands overlapping eastward beyond Hangman Point.
In quiet weather or southerly winds it's quite feasible to stay overnight at Watermouth, but if there's any northerly wind it's probably best to stick to a lunch-time stop.
