BEAUTIFUL BEACHES
One of the joys of visiting South Devon
is exploring our beautiful beaches.
Each one offers something a little
different, so whether you’re looking for
a secluded cove, family friendly beach
or watersports hotspot, you’re sure
to find the perfect place to spend an
afternoon or two.
We’ve highlighted just some of the
amazing beaches on offer (see the map on
page 60) but there are many more waiting
to be explored. Details of these can be
found by visiting: visitsouthdevon.co.uk/
beaches
Many beaches also allow dog walking,
with either specially designated sections
or by lifting the summer ban during the
winter months.
