Blackpool Sands is a beach in Devon, England.

The gorgeous crescent-shaped sand of Blackpool Sands greets you against the idyllic backdrop of pines and rolling South Hams countryside come to life. The sand is in reality mostly a coarse shingle, however, there is some sand at the top of the beach. Sandpits offered for the children, and water sports experts who could seek fun with kayaking or paddle boarding which don’t require you to have any of your own equipment as wetsuits and equipment are accessible for hire. The beach shelves rather steeply when in the sea with waves that can get quite powerful. No shade around on a sunny day, while having all the necessary amenities that include toilets, showers, and disabled facilities, parking is also available. Unfortunately, dogs are not welcomed within the car parks or directly on Blackpool Sands from March through to the end of October. Parking could cost around a tenner for the entire day so consider that ready money. The beach has lifeguard service in season and is a regular recipient of the Blue Flag award. The beach is privately managed, and just one food outlet available, so it has the potential to get swamped at times.
