Facing east, and exposed to the sea, life in the fishing village of Beesands was never easy. Beesands is probably the most genuine and unspoilt of all the villages within the area. Its small cottages and open aspect are now complemented by a large village green.

Beesands Ley, a nature reserve and beyond, just above the beach is the windswept pitch of Beesands Rovers, bastions of local village football.

Inland from Beesands is the small village of Beeson, the original settlement. In the valley bottoms there are osier beds, once used by the villagers to make their crab and lobster pots. The fishermen had small strips of land along the cliffs to help their families survive.
