Blackpool Sands, set in a sheltered bay surrounded by evergreens and pines is one of South Devon's most beautiful natural treasures. An award-winning privately owned family beach with turquoise blue sea giving it an almost Mediterranean feel.

Set on the beautiful South Devon coast, nestled between Dartmouth and Slapton within easy reach from Plymouth, Exeter, Totnes or Torbay.

With sand pits, a bathing raft, kayaks for hire, a range of delicious hot and cold food and a beach shop, it has something for all the family. But don't just take our word for it, come and see for yourself! Lifeguard patrol and no dogs during summer season.
