Plymouth Beach HolidaysWith some of the South West’s finest coastal views in and around the city, Plymouth beach holidays leave plenty of sandy stretches to choose from depending on what you’re looking for. Plymouth holiday cottages make a great base for a beach holiday, and are a short drive from neighbouring beaches such as Bigbury. |

Bovisand BeachOne of the finest beaches in Plymouth, Bovisand Beach is a Designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and it’s easy to see why. With a long stretch of golden sands, cliffs at either end and a large beach at low tide – Bovisand Beach is the ultimate location for beach holidays in Plymouth. A dog ban is operated between May and September, there are toilet facilities and disabled facilities, and there is also convenient parking. The onsite cafe and refreshments also help to make Bovisand Beach one of the most popular Plymouth beaches with locals and residents alike!

Mothecombe BeachMothecombe Beach is privately owned and is only open to the public on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays. This is a sandy and clean Plymouth Beach has safe swimming – so it’s suitable for a day out with the children. There are also lots of rock pools to explore, and rocks at each end of the beach creating a reasonable wind shelter. Parking on the nearby road is not permitted between April and September, but there is a field car park nearby for £1.80 per day. There is also a small refreshments shop in this parking area, although there are no other nearby facilities.

Bigbury-on-SeaIf you don’t mind venturing a little further afield during beach holidays in Plymouth, Bigbury-on-Sea in the South Hams has plenty to make the journey worthwhile. With a spacious sand and shingle beach, lifeguards, first aid facilities and beautiful views of the River Avon estuary – Bigbury Beach is ideal for family beach holidays. The Blue Flag beach offers toilets and disabled facilities, shops and an area for dogs. Best of all, a sea tractor runs to Burgh Island where Agatha Christie and Noel Coward once enjoyed a stay! Alternatively, wait for low tide and walk along the causeway. There is a car park beside the beach.

Thurlestone SandsA little further along the coast from Bigbury-on-Sea, Thurlestone Sands is owned by the National Trust and is great for water sports, as well as family visits to the seaside! With a wide sandy beach, access to the South Devon Coastal Path and a close nature reserve – Thurlestone Sands is another great day out for those on Plymouth beach holidays. The nature reserve is home to a range of rare birds, so birdwatchers should bring their equipment incase of any sightings! Thurlestone Golf Club overlooks the sea and is set on a nearby cliff top, so golfers on beach breaks may wish to bear this in mind too.
