Beer Head Beach - vintage postcard
wiki: The village of Beer is in south-east Devon, England, on Lyme Bay. The village of Beer is situated on the 95-mile long Jurassic Coast, England’s first natural World Heritage Site and its picturesque cliffs, including Beer Head, form part of the South West Coast Path.
The name is not derived from the drink but from the old Anglo-Saxon word “bearu” (“grove”), referring to the original forestation that surrounded the town. It is a pretty coastal village that grew up around a smugglers’ cove and caves which were once used to store contraband goods.
