If you are looking for the perfect family beach then this could be the one. There's a wide expanse of gently sloping golden sand and numerous rockpools alongside seasonal lifeguard cover. The beach is in an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and it's not hard to see why with views over to Bigbury and Burgh Island.
There is disabled access to this unspoilt beach in Salcombe, as well as an on site cafe/restaurant, parking and toilets, plus pleasure boat cruises and lots of water activities, so something for everyone.
Along with Sunny Cove, Mill Bay opposite Salcombe on Kingsbridge Estuary can be reached via a regular pedestrian ferry from Salcombe, there is also parking available. The beaches are lovely, there is a stream and good facilities.
Backed by a freshwater lake this mile long beach is mainly made up of shingle and pebbles. There is plenty of parking and toilets nearby.
Comprised of two sandy beaches known as Inner and Outer Hope, Hope Cove sits in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Within strolling distance from the village itself, once a busy fishing hub, Hope Cove's beaches have the best of both worlds with plenty of facilities available.
A sheltered sandy cove with a National Trust car park although space is limited. Popular with families and accessable via ferry from Salcombe. Take your fishing net as there are some great rockpools at low tide.
This sandy beach is ideal for families, the steep cliffs help provide shelter and there are a number of rock pools to explore. There is parking and toilets nearby.
Here you'll find a secluded and quiet, pebbly beach partly owned by the National Trust. There is no direct access by road, you either have to walk from the village or along the beach from Sidmouth but it's worth the effort for the seclusion, and you can even take your dog.
The mile long walk from the car park discourages some, but it is worth the effort - Soar Mill Cove is a perfect little beach of fine sand and rock pools.
This stretch of beach consisits of mainly sand and shingle and is somewhat smaller than its neighbouring Slapton Sands. It is within easy reach of Torcross village, with all its eateries and shops. Watersports equipment can be hired locally for the more adventurous!
