On a bright and sunny day, the beach is nothing short of stunning. The picturesque location is a sight to behold, with its pristine sands and crystal-clear waters. It's an idyllic spot for those looking to soak up some sun and enjoy the beauty of nature. The scenery is simply breathtaking, and it's easy to get lost in the tranquility of the surroundings. If you're looking for a serene getaway, this is the perfect place to be.

If you're seeking an alternative to the crowded main beach, this is the perfect spot for a refreshing swim or some playful beach frolicking. The area is simply fantastic and offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of the more popular beaches.

The beach offers a delightful oceanic pool that provides a perfect spot for a refreshing swim, especially when the sun's rays have warmed it up, making it a tad bit warmer than the sea. The pool's depth measures 1.2 meters at its deepest end and gradually slopes back up to the shallow end, making it accessible to all swimmers. However, it is advisable to bring along water shoes as the pool floor can be quite slippery due to the presence of seaweed.

The oceanic pool was an absolute delight to take a dip in. It was far more comfortable than the open sea and had a hassle-free entry and exit system. With a maximum depth of 1.2 meters and a gradual slope, you can gradually acclimate yourself to the water temperature. The pool was impeccably maintained and offered a stunning vista. Changing rooms were conveniently located at the poolside.

Exploring the rocky terrain to reach the 120-year-old sea pool from the Victorian era is a must-do activity while visiting the beach. Despite being open for swimming all year round, the chilly winter weather may deter you from taking a dip. However, it's a fantastic opportunity to admire the surroundings and capture some stunning photographs.

Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Westward Sea Pool (Devon) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Westward Sea Pool (Devon) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Westward Sea Pool for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
