Beer was a sleepy Devon village with little more than a single road through the picturesque village leading down to the beach on which a number of fishing boats plied their trade. On one occasion we took a trip on one and came back with several mackerel which were cooked in the caravan’s primitive kitchen.

The path on the right is not leading to Beer; that may be seen here. This one is possibly nearer Exmouth which we also visited; note the much darker cliffs.
