Wembury

Wembury is owned by the National Trust and hosts its own Marine Conservation Centre and guided rock pool rambles.

The beach is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and has everything a beach needs including a Café, parking, Ice cream, rock pools, sand and of course the sea!

For the keen walkers, you can walk right (West) all the way around to the next beach on our list Bovisand. Overall, this a very unusual and interesting beach that the kids will love!

This flat golden sandy beach is an ideal beach for ball games, swimming and snorkelling.

On a good day, which you will find this Easter weekend, you can see across to Plymouth sound.

There are also plenty of walks to enjoy along the beautiful coastline.

Bigbury on Sea

A popular family beach Bigbury is perfect for windsurfing and kite surfing. Give surfing a try from one of the local surf schools.

Whilst you are at Bigbury you can visit the iconic Burgh Island by sea tractor or walk across the causeway at low tide.

There is a beach shop and cafe close by plus that all important on-site parking. There is also a Venus cafe serving organic and local food.

Walk the Mayflower Trail

On September 16th 1620, the Mayflower sailed from Plymouth UK with just 102 passengers and crew on board with what William Bradford called “a prosperous wind.”

Plymouth is full of this history, but now you can walk the Mayflower trail. It’s like you have been sent back in time.

    It's interesting, why not make an infrastructure for kite surfing, I think many people will like this type of technology, for example, I found kite school near me https://xtremeexpert.com here they offer various types of activities that test your courage and endurance. I personally felt the euphoria and satisfaction of participating in their events
