Description
Ladram Bay is part of the East Devon World Heritage Coast and it is notable for its interesting geology. The rich red sandstone, coloured by iron oxides, is exceptionally soft at certain points in the strata and erosion by both sea and shingle creates undercut cliffs. Seastacks, found just offshore, are the remains of collapsed caves that became sea arches before finally crumbling, leaving isolated lumps of rock that will eventually disappear.
