the classic guide

A guide to the West Country from the people that know…

Hanover Point

Park in the large National Trust car park (there's one at each end of the beach) and take the steep steps to the beach. There are toilets at the car park but no facilities on the beach so take your own equipment and food with you. The area is well known for its dinosaur footprints and bones and it is possible to book tours on the beach to see these. The area is popular with kitesurfers and good for beach games. There is a seasonal dog ban on the beach west of Hanover Point from May to September. Dogs are welcome between Hanover Point and Brook Chine year round.
