There is an abandoned coastguard lookout at Hurlstone Point, which was built in 1900 and manned permanently until after World War II.
Hurlstone point (grid reference SS898492) is a promontory of land between Porlock Weir and Minehead in the Exmoor National Park on the coast of Somerset, England.
Hurlstone Point marks the boundary between Porlock Bay and Blue Anchor Bay in the Bristol Channel and is on the South West Coast Path.
The rocks, including a large slab known as "coastguard wall" are popular with climbers.
In 2007 a cyclist was rescued after falling 40 feet (12 m) down the cliff.
