Bantham Beach - South Devon Coast

Visit Bantham Beach

Bantham Beach on the South Devon coast, backed by dunes at the mouth of the River Avon, is in an area of outstanding natural beauty. The sandy beach offers great views of Burgh Island and neighbouring Bigbury beach. This beach is best known for watersports, particulalry surfing.

The water can get a little chilly, so grab a wetsuit and try body boarding, surfing or just enjoy a swim in the sea. There are lifguards on duty and food vans available for a snack and refreshments.

There is plenty of parking here, although as with many beaches in the area, it is down a very narrow road. On a hot bank holiday weekend it can get very busy!
