WONWELL BEACH AND ERME ESTUARY The Erme Estuary is a designated area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and an Area of Special Scientific Interest. Wonwell Beach, which is where the river Erme flows into the sea, is a mile down a small country lane from High Barn. At high tide the estuary fills and is ideal for kayaking, canoeing and windsurfing. The tide goes out to reveal vast expanses of sand and shallow water – perfect for young children, paddling, buckets and spades, fishing nets etc. At low tide, you can walk and wade several miles inland. The bird life is sensational. There is some lane-side parking at Wonwell beach, but this is deliberately minimal, with the result that the beach is never crowded. The local Water Bailiff is available for sea-fishing trips off the coast, starting at Wonwell Beach.
