The beach stretch beyond the Dartmouth castle is a sight to behold with its stunning beauty, albeit small in size. A mere few minutes walk will lead you to this tranquil haven where you can unwind and recharge your batteries. The beach boasts of several little coves that add to its charm. While the beach is pebbly, it is still a great spot to soak up some sun and enjoy the serene surroundings.

This charming and dog-friendly cove is a must-see destination. The rocky shoreline provides ample opportunities for exploring the fascinating rock pools, but it may not be ideal for barefoot paddling due to its sharp terrain.

This stunning beach is nestled away, offering a peaceful escape with breathtaking views of the river Dart. The pathway leading to it can be accessed by foot, but be prepared for a few challenging steps that may be difficult to navigate during rainy conditions.
