Season: summer

This fine beach, located just five miles east of Plymouth, is at the edge of the South Hams.  It’s a National Trust beach and sits by the South West Coast Path.  The scene is varied and features the Mew Stone, a wedge-shaped island just off shore.  There’s also an old mill, which has been converted into a cafe.  The area is part of a Marine Conservation Zone, featuring varied seaweed species and a host of wildlife.  Children are attracted to the rock pools that appear as the tide drops.  The beach is safe for swimming, kayaking and all manner of water sports.
