Hurlstone Point marks the boundary between Porlock Bay and Blue Anchor Bay in the Bristol Channel and is on the South West Coast Path.[1] There is a coastguard lookout shelter on the point.[2]
The rocks, including a large slab known as "coastguard wall" are popular with climbers.[3]
In 2007 a cyclist was rescued after falling 40 feet (12 m) down the cliff.[4]
