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.
This is a wide fine shingle beach with nearby parking. The northern end of the beach tends to be used by naturists. It is safe beach for swimmers and dogs are welcome all year.
With green parkland backing beautiful golden sands, the popular Broadsands Beach creates the ultimate holiday combination. Affording stunning panoramic views, activities aplenty, nearby amenities and ample parking, Broadsand's naturally sheltered cove offers something for everyone.
This pretty little cove is made up of shingle and rocks and reached by a steep woodland path. It's an idyllic spot surrounded by wooded hillsides and cliffs with views towards the harbour. Parking is half a mile away along Fishcombe Road near Brixham. Dogs are allowed year round however there are no facilities.
A very pretty shingle cove with access to extensive coastal walks. Very sheltered swimming in beautifully clear water. Parking available in nearby Broadsands car park with a half mile walk to the beach.
Goodrington Sands' award-winning beach has something for everyone. Take to the sea on a pedalo or water ski, or enjoy a more relaxed pace of life on a sun lounge in the sun. Tuck up in your own private beach hut with a book and bevvy, or take to the north section of the beach where you can take your dog all year round. Amenities and amusements are aplenty here.
Accessable only by foot on the South West Coast Path, this sand and pebble beach maintains a feeling of wildness. An area of wetland next to the beach is home to many birds.
Just down the coast from the harbour this shingle and rocky beach is great for rock pooling at low tide and has lovely views across the bay. There are large areas of hardstanding surrounding the adjoining sea water pool and parking is available. Access is limited as there are steps to the beach. Dogs are allowed year round but leads are required on the hardstanding and they are not allowed in the pool.
This pebbly beach stretches for three miles next to a narrow strip of coastal road, the subject of many a picture postcard. There are opportunities for windsurfing, sailing and canoeing as well as just stopping and admiring the view plus a strong military history for those wanting to delving a little deeper into the area.
This little sand and shingle bay sits next to Sharkham point. If you don't fancy the scramble down, you can opt to admire the view from one of benches on the South West Coast Path that runs along the cliffs above the bay.
