A chance to catch up with the girls, rug, towel, swimming cossie packed...just add plastic wine glasses, a bottle of cava and some sparkling girly friends. An evening swim on Barricane Beach (www.beachcombercafe.co.uk), a little adrenaline boosting rock jumping and a brisk dry off and change behind some rocks. Our best kept locals secret - a cafe on the beach, no frills attached that serves curry till the sun goes down; bring your own drinks and watch the sun go down! Our yearly pilgrimage a toast to friends remember, some now living away from the coast, some moved on and some sadly missed.
Watch until the moon is high in the sky then follow the path around the bay to Woolacombe (www.woolacombetourism.co.uk). Stop off at the Red Barn for a nightcap or a warming hot Chocolate. Catch a local band playing and warm yourselves up with a boogie!. If the wind has dropped and the moon is in the sky finish up with a moonlit walk on Woolacombe beach. A skinny dip in the sea if it's calm and the phosphorescence lighting up the water. Romantic, yes but just as good to share with friends.

Sounds lovely!
On my blog I am collecting folklore, and have this on Barricane -
'Under the cliffs of Morte Point, lies Barricane Creek, rich in shells; whilst out at sea the waves dash fiercely over the ill-famed Morte Stone, which has a terrible reputation for shipwrecks.'
Hope Moncreiff 1895
Sounds fearsome!
