This is a truly lovely spot with all the facilities you could want. HOWEVER for a basic no frills sausage bap (3 slices of sausage) in the cafe I was charged £7.50 which I regard as an outrage. As I ordered four I was down £30. This really was a disappointment. Added to the £3.50 car park charge for just over an hour I felt somewhat exploited.

The beach looks beautiful on approach and the parking was easy with people in his vis jackets pointing out where to park. The beach is shingle and very unforgiving on your feet. We had taken beach sandals but you really need proper beach shoes. The water is very clear and excellent for paddle boarding or kayaking. The beach was busy when we went but felt it accommodated everybody well. The only downside was the cost of parking £9 for 3+hours and the cost of the food and drink at the cafe with no alternatives close by. £12.50 for a crab sandwich ouch! But if you stay all day and take a pack up you can keep costs down for a family day out.

What a misnomer, it is a shingle beach with tiny gritty stones, very close to Dartmouth. Flip flops are NOT a good choice of footwear, instead wear swimming shoes or trainers instead as the grit gets between the soles of your feet and the shoe. Also in summer the grit gets hot to walk on. Do take a shelter as there is no protection from the sun, although you can buy one from the shop for £25. Typical narrow roads so you may have to back up for a larger vehicle. One road down to the beach is full of pot holes, so take the main road route which is better. The beach has two shelves so at high tide you have a steep slope into the water and if you are less agile, getting up the slope is difficult, plus the water gets deep very quickly. Lots of space and a large car park, no dogs allowed. You pay with a card on the way out of the car park, and prices vary by season. High season is £7 for 2 hours. There is a cafe and a small shop and you can hire a paddleboard or small canoe.

We visited here as two families with children ranging from 4-13 years old. There are two car parks so plenty of space. The car parks are camera operated and you pay as you go out via the machine. I think over three hours worked out at around £9. There are toilets here and a small shower to wash off from the sea. The beach itself isn’t sand but very tiny pebbles which is nice as it doesn’t all stick to you. There is a cafe area and also a takeaway area. It is quite pricey so if there are a lot of you I would advise that you take some snacks with you. Be warned, when paddling out there is a deep drop not too far out so if you have young children it’s best to keep an eye on them especially if they can’t swim. You can hire paddle boards also. It’s a lovely place to visit and a really lovely day out. Would highly recommend.

We arrived on a relatively cold summer's afternoon and hired some paddle boards and a wet suit. The process was easy and we spent a couple of fun hours messing about on the water. Parking was straight forward and easy to pay. Fun times...

A really well-run operation with plenty of parking, good access, great facilities and good cleanliness. The beach is expansive with a designated swimming area patrolled by lifeguards. It is comprised of fine shingle.

Great for a few hours on the beach, lovely clear water, great for paddle boarding. Very small pebbles, easy to walk on and lie on but no sandcastles. Easy to park, field next to beach, can pay on exit or on website once get home.

I absolutely love this place. Clean and no dogs. It's a shame that Venus cafe has gone, but the new cafe has some good food and the new restaurant sounds like it will be good. Really disappointed that RED have taken over the shop and there are now so many paddle boards on the beach. The coronation chick pea roll is really good!

Nice beach but the name lies! This is NOT a sandy beach. Parking is easy if not a little expensive (£9 for the day). Shingle is painful on bare feet and the sea goes deep quickly so not good for small children. But if you are prepared for this it is a good day out.

What a beautiful beach,,nestled between two cliffs. Sheltered, blue waters gorgeous. The toilets (weirdly!) And absolute highlight! Clean, spacious but something very nice about having classic fm played as you do your business. We were here for a race and these were well used and appreciated!
