To qualify the beaches have to meet strict criteria relating to beach management, access, facilities and more importantly the quality of the bathing water.
Many of the beaches in South Devon can be easily reached by road and they have safe parking nearby which means they are great for families or those with limited mobility. We also have secluded beaches which are accessible via well used footpaths and for those looking for total privacy, some of the beaches are only accessible from the sea.
So, if you are looking for a quiet retreat or something which is both popular with locals and visitors and have plenty of attractions and amusements available, check out our recommended south Devon Blue Flag Beaches.
