Thurlestone Beach is a beach in Devon, England.

Thurlestone Beach offers two distinct yet similarly appealing stretches of shoreline. To the north is a smaller beach right next to Thurlestone Golf Club and south of the outcrop, you’ll find a much larger beachfront facing South Milton. The beach’s shallow waters make it ideal for families, while its coarse sand and rocky pools offer plenty of exploration for the curious visitor. It’s set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is home to Thurlestone Rock – the iconic arch shaped rock formation which has been immortalized in works by Turner. High tide will ensure the best view of the rock, so plan accordingly. During the summer months of May to September, the beach is patrolled by lifeguards, and although the northern section has limited facilities, you’ll find cafes and water sports options to the south of Thurlestone. If you’re after a tranquil beach experience, Thurlestone beach is the perfect destination for those visiting Devon.
