Orcombe Point
Orcombe Point in Exmouth is marked by a five metre high geoneedle constructed in the sequence of the rocks deposited along the Jurassic Coast. Admire the spectacular rainbow of rusty red rocks before accessing the South West Coast Path which runs the entire 630 mile length of the Jurassic coast.
