It is accessible via the A39 and has a beach called Welcombe Mouth, which is a challenge to get to.^{[citation needed]} Its parish church, Welcombe Parish Church, is one of only four ancient dedications to Saint Nectan. Welcombe comprises several smaller communities including Welcombe Cross, Darracot, Upcott and Mead. There is a local pottery, pub, The Old Smithy Inn and village stores.
