Family Beaches in Devon

No family holiday is complete without a trip to the beach - and Devon's are the best! The perfect playgrounds - miles of gorgeous clean sand, rockpools, sand dunes and sea. What better setting for days of fun with all the family?

If sand is what you are seeking, Devon has masses. Go for the glorious three-mile arc of Woolacombe's golden sand or the gentle sweep of Putsborough's beach - and you have plenty more to choose from. Build sand-castles, fly kites and play cricket - there's miles of space for everyone on Devon's family beaches.

Gently sloping gradients make many of Devon's beaches perfect for even the smallest paddlers and beach guards keep a watchful eye out to ensure the swimming is safe. Enjoy too the surfing, snorkelling and other watersports Devon lays on for its visitors.

Bustling beaches backed by all the facilities you could wish... toilets, shops, cafes, parking and amusement arcades... or peaceful expanses miles from the crowds - the choice is yours.

We are rightly proud of the superb top-class family beaches in Devon. Indeed over a dozen are Blue Flag beaches where the quality of water, safety and facilities is guaranteed.
