The closest beach to the cottage (about 20 mins' drive at low tide when you can use the tidal road) and it's a stunner! Surf and paddle board hire, glorious sandy beach perfect for kite flying and water sports. Walk across to Burgh Island where you can walk to the top and also see the Burgh Island hotel where Agatha Christie wrote several of her novels. The Pilchard Inn on the island serves real ales, ice creams and food and dates back to the 14th century. Or the Venus Cafe on the mainland serves high quality local food and drink all day and all year round.

Bigbury on Sea is a popular family beach and great for windsurfing and kite surfing. A stunning sandy beach in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)

Right near Bantham. Great for families and surfing. Feels busy when tide is high and weather good as beach gets quite small

My favourite beach- go for a walk over to Burgh island, amazing views. Have a pint (of Piltch) or lunch at the Pilchard Inn. Ride on the sea tractor if the tide is in. Brilliant day out

It won’t come as a surprise to anyone who has visited that Bigbury on Sea is located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Perfect for sand castles and rock pooling as well as tucking into lengthy summer picnics, it is an unusual beach to visit because the tide comes in from both sides. As a result, it is an endless source of fascination for children, not least for its sea tractor which provides transport from one end of the beach to the other in order to reach Burgh Island. Burgh Island is connected to mainland England by the beach alone, it’s home to the famous art deco Burgh Island Hotel which has hosted Agatha Christie and Noel Coward since its incarnation in 1929, and has even made an appearance in the TV adaptation of Christie’s Poirot. On a practical note there is on-site parking available close to the beach with daily charges from £3.50. Toilets and shower facilities with disabled access are also nearby, and lifeguards are present from May to September. The Venus café offers teas, coffees and other refreshments including the ice creams that are of such fundamental importance for a day at the beach. Meanwhile, dog lovers will be pleased to know that four legged friends are welcome at Bigbury on Sea, but restrictions apply from 1st May until 30th September. Ultimately, Bigbury on Sea is a supremely beautiful location and fun family day out with abundant wildlife to enjoy and coastal footpaths to explore as well, making it a wonderful destination to visit on holiday in Devon, no matter what time of the year it is.
