The area of "Bigbury" is divided into Burgh Island, Bigbury on Sea, and Bigbury. Burgh Island is
often referred to as "part-time island" because as the tide recedes it leaves a causeway of golden
sand - when the tide is in a sea-tractor operates. The first building that greets visitors is the
"Pilchard Inn" - dates from the 14th century when a monastic community lived on the island.
To the left is the famous art-deco hotel which has been visited by many famous people.
One mile back from the coast is the Bigbury Golf Club with superb views over Bigbury Bay.
The village of Bigbury is about 1.5 miles inland.
