The beach stretches on the sunny coast and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Sugary Cove beach with the locals.

User reviews
"This stunning beach is nestled away, offering a peaceful escape with breathtaking views of the river Dart. The pathway leading to it can be accessed by foot, but be prepared for a few challenging steps that may be difficult to navigate during rainy conditions."
Ravindar Kumar
"This charming and dog-friendly cove is a must-see destination. The rocky shoreline provides ample opportunities for exploring the fascinating rock pools, but it may not be ideal for barefoot paddling due to its sharp terrain."
