Latest reviews on South Pool's beaches

Sunny cove beach
10 Nathan Rossiter

To be frank, there isn't a lot to expound upon when it comes to this particular beach. It's merely one of several petite stretches of sand that are scattered along the river's edge. However, like its companions, this beach is quite delightful. It boasts a pleasant expanse and a level surface, with the water situated in close proximity and conveniently reachable. Moreover, there are some charming strolls nearby, and a number of the beaches are connected by a wooded footpath.

South Milton Sands
10 Aria Belford.

This place is absolutely stunning. We were pleasantly surprised to discover such a picturesque beach in England. It's definitely worth a visit. Additionally, there is a nearby cafe and a large car park available for £6 all day, with free access for National Trust members.

Blackpool Sands
10 Ethan Jaxson.

This secluded beach is a true gem, boasting a range of amenities including a car park, restroom facilities, a restaurant and a shop. While the beach itself may not be sandy, the fine shingles lend a unique charm to the area. I would recommend wearing wet shoes to fully enjoy the experience. Despite the unconventional terrain, the beach is absolutely stunning and we had the best day ever with the kids! The water is crystal-clear and inviting, and the presence of lifeguards ensures a safe and worry-free visit. This is truly a place to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the surroundings.

Strete Gate beach
8 Kieran Thompson

We were motivated to visit because we have our dog, Harry, and many beaches nowadays prohibit dogs, which I find puzzling. Why not just separate them? There is plenty of parking available and easy access, as well as restrooms, a beach café, and a designated naturist area. To be honest, I always prefer soft sand, but this beach has pretty coarse shingle, which is still beautiful. During the last week of August, it felt like there was plenty of space. The sea was, of course, cold but invigorating. However, the rough shingle may not be ideal for young children. Would I go again? Probably not if there is a sandy beach closer, but it was a lovely couple of hours.

Moor Sand
10 Jude Asherwood

This beach is a so-called hidden gem, but don't let that fool you. The British coastline is far from wonderful, and this beach does little to change that. The only saving grace is the weather, which is rarely good. The walk there is not worth the effort, and the access rope is a safety hazard. The tides are unpredictable and can leave you stranded. Don't bother visiting this beach unless you want to be disappointed.

Mill Bay
10 Ryan Johnson

This beach is a hidden treasure, offering stunning views of Salcombe. It's dog-friendly, but it's important to arrive before 10 am due to limited parking and a narrow single lane. The beach provides good restroom facilities, and there's a delightful coffee and crepe caravan to satisfy your hunger.
