User reviews
"The beach is extremely clean, but it tends to get quite crowded and noisy during the summer months due to the large number of visitors. Additionally, the sandy area of the beach is not very spacious and fills up rapidly when the tide is high. Located in the bustling Rivera of Torquay in Devon, it is a pleasant spot to relax and cool off."
Relaxed Feline Parent
"This beach offers beach huts for rent and features charming rock pools teeming with wildlife, making it a delightful destination for a day trip. Additionally, there is a chip shop and an ice cream store conveniently located just 20 meters away, although it's worth noting that they do not accept card payments."
