It’s a hidden bay that few people know about, but it holds an incredible story

It takes about an hour to get to the coast of the bay with the “giant pebbles”.

The rocky and secluded bay Heddons Mout located on the coast of North Devon, holds a secret that shows how hidden from tourists this beach remains.

As the Express writes, this secluded Devon coast sheltered smugglers centuries ago, but it also hides another military secret: a German ship landed undetected thanks to the secrecy of this tiny beach.

“The bay is so isolated that during World War II, the crew of a German submarine could go ashore in search of fresh water and rest without fear of being discovered,” according to a message on the Beach Guide website.

The publication noted that it takes about an hour to get to the coast with “giant pebbles,” but the breathtaking views are worth the effort.

The Beach Guide website states that this is a fairly secluded spot, and nowadays it is mostly visited by hikers. Tourists can park nearby before embarking on an hour-long hike to the cove. It is worth noting that there are no facilities available, so it is important to prepare accordingly.

Experienced tourists recommended wearing comfortable shoes, as the path to the bay is very rocky in some places. Those who have already visited the area also added that lunch and tea can be ordered at the lodge near the parking lot.
