9.4 miles from Shore Bottom
Hooken Cliffs is a rugged undercliff and boulder field between Beer Head and Branscombe in East Devon. The mark offers kelp-filled gullies, broken ground and patches of deeper water close in, fishing best in settled to moderate seas from late spring through autumn. It’s primarily a rough-ground, lure-and-bait rock mark...

A prominent chalk headland just west of Beer village on the Jurassic Coast. Stepped rock ledges give quick access to deep, kelpy water with a strong tidal run. It fishes best on a flooding tide, especially at dawn/dusk through summer for pelagics and into dark for predators. Ground is very...
