Bigbury - all beaches

To be frank, there isn't a lot to expound upon when it comes to this particular beach. It's merely one of several petite stretches of sand that are scattered along the river's edge. However, like its companions, this beach is quite delightful. It boasts a pleasant expanse and a level surface, with the water situated in close proximity and conveniently reachable. Moreover, there are some charming strolls nearby, and a number of the beaches are connected by a wooded footpath.

This place is absolutely stunning. We were pleasantly surprised to discover such a picturesque beach in England. It's definitely worth a visit. Additionally, there is a nearby cafe and a large car park available for £6 all day, with free access for National Trust members.

This beach is a hidden treasure, offering stunning views of Salcombe. It's dog-friendly, but it's important to arrive before 10 am due to limited parking and a narrow single lane. The beach provides good restroom facilities, and there's a delightful coffee and crepe caravan to satisfy your hunger.

What a magnificent day we had at Mothecombe beach! As many have mentioned, there is a parking fee of £5 to park in the nearby field, but there is ample space available. The walk from the car park to the beach takes roughly 5-10 minutes and is a bit steep, but there are no steps to navigate. It's worth noting that there are no facilities on the beach itself, so it's advisable to stop at the School House near the car park or bring your own supplies. However, the sandy beach is simply delightful when the tide is out, and the shallow water is perfect for children to enjoy their first proper swim in the sea. We also saw many people paddleboarding, which added to the already great atmosphere of the beach. While it wasn't overly crowded, there was a pleasant buzz of activity.

This charming beach is a haven for dog lovers, equipped with convenient parking, washroom facilities, and a cozy cafe. To avoid any hassle, it's best to arrive early as the parking lot can fill up quickly and most visitors tend to stay for the entire day. Keep in mind that the only payment options available for parking are cash or through an app, as card payments are not accepted and change cannot be obtained from the cafe. The two access roads can be a bit tricky, so drive with caution. It's crucial to check the tide schedule as during high tide, the beach can become quite cramped, leaving little space for sunbathing and relaxation. Additionally, it's worth noting that the water is quite shallow, so if you plan to set up camp at the top of the beach, you may be quite a distance from the water during low tide.

We recently stayed at the hotel for three nights and it was absolutely delightful. Our room balcony offered a stunning view of the cove, and we were equally treated to breathtaking views from the restaurant. The staff provided exceptional service, being incredibly attentive. Each night, we were pleasantly surprised with a unique menu, and every meal we enjoyed was truly outstanding.
