Blue Anchor is a small village located between Watchet and Minehead on the West Somerset coast. It provides stunning views over the Bristol Channel to South Wales. Because Blue Anchor is part of Carhampton parish, it is difficult to determine the exact size of the population, although it definitely does not exceed a few hundred people. Initially, Blue Anchor thrived on fishing, farming and coastal trade, but the role of tourism became more significant with the onset of the railway in the 19th century. Currently, the Blue Anchor Station works as a part of the heritage West Somerset Railway, whereas the A39 provides easy access to Minehead, Williton and Bridgwater. The locally available services do not include sophisticated establishments but there are pubs, cafés, holiday parks, and hostels. The main attraction of the village is its long beach that leads to Exmoor and Quantock hills in the south.
