Blackpool Sands

Just around the corner from Dartmouth, Blackpool Sands is known for its clear waters. Backed by heavily wooded cliffs, this crescent-shaped beach is one of the prettiest in the area and being privately managed means it is clean with good facilities.

Sunny Valentine’s Day 2023

We walked to the beach on a gorgeous sunny February morning, we sat and enjoyed the surroundings and had a coffee from the kiosk. Bliss. But imagine very different in the height of summer.

A great cafe

A beautiful, well protected beach with a great cafe. Not a sand beach and forget the surf boards because it shelves steeply.
