NORTH DEVON COAST - Lee Bay to Morte Point

It was a beautiful day to explore this wonderful part of our coast, leaving pretty little Lee Bay - passing Bull Point Lighthouse, and making a brief landing on Rockham Beach...a very welcome break!

The area around the lighthouse is a rock-lover's paradise, a fantastic maze of out-of-this-world rock formations and colour...I could have spent much longer there!
The whole length of this coast is a minefield of rocks...sharp pointy rocks everywhere! Either poking above the sea, or just beneath - a danger for me, as my motor being knocked off (which it is designed to do upon impact) is not what I want without a nearby beach needed to re-attach the motor. While there are a few beaches along this stretch of coast, I prefer to avoid having to do this.

Then, it was on to see the seals, which lay about on rocks near Morte Point.
My apologies for the out of-focus footage of them from my phone-cam. I included them as those from the action-cam make them appear to be much further than the forty to fifty feet I was away from them.

Morte Point certainly lives up to the derivation of it's name...it spelt disaster and death to many a sailor and ship in the more distant past. Smugglers apparently (as elsewhere) would lure the boats onto the rocks. Morte Point is ideal for this purpose!
