Nestled between Watermouth and Combe Martin on the rugged North Devon coast lies Broad Sands; a beach which is neither broad nor too sandy. Its original title ‘Broadstrands’ is certainly more fitting! The beach is renowned for its sheltered bathing spot, ideal for safe swimming, and its vast collection of nooks, crannies, and caves – all just waiting to be explored. However, visitors should be mindful that as the tide comes in, the beach can shrink considerably, so be sure to keep an eye on the water level! And of course, your visit wouldn’t be complete without a climb up or down the two hundred and forty steps! Broad Sands is an absolute gem; witness its untouched beauty and solitude for yourself – we guarantee you’ll be glad you made the trek.
