Morte Point
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Morte Point is a geographical feature on the North West coast of Devon, England. To the East is the village of Mortehoe and to the South is the seaside resort of Woolacombe. Morte Point is notorious for being the site of many shipwrecks (one of which, a ship carrying a cargo of live pigs, lends its name to the small cove of Grunta Beach to the South of the point). Because of its dramatic landscape and the often forbidding weather and sea conditions in the area, Morte Point is sometimes referred to by locals as "the place God made last and the devil will take first".
