Hi Doozer999,

This may be a little late but if you're looking for something more inimate you need to get yourself to Troytown Farm here.

Beautiful island, rocks galore for you boys to explore, and right in front of the site as well. As long as you avoid the busy two August weeks and the world Gig Championship weeked early May it will feel quiet. A wonderful natural playground for your boys and they allow campfires on a firepit on site and have seen people with fires on the rocks in front of the site.

It's a bit of a trek but that's what makes it have the feeling you're looking for.

Just realised you don't say if you're in a tent or van, so may not be suitable!

Tunnels Beach in Ilfracombe (north Devon) is ace for rock pooling - it has been voted in the top 5 locations in UK - there is also a Victorian swimming pool in the natural rocks. Unfortunately there is an entry fee but great place!

We stayed at Little Meadow, lovely campsite but no fires. There are plenty if sites around that area - Woolacombe, Croyde etc and loads to do (good surf beaches).
