Broadsands Beach is a beach in Devon, England.

The beautiful Broadsands beach is located on the country’s stunning Riviera coast in Devon, tucked between two picturesque headlands. The wide red-sandy expanse extends far and wide when the tide retreats, and is great for activities like swimming, paddle-boarding, kayaking, and sailing – although should be done with caution at higher tides. The beach is ideal for visitors wanting an idyllic day away from the noise of amusement arcades, with plenty of entertainment from rock pooling, sand castle building, or throwing the nerf ball around in the grassy area behind the beach. Dogs can be walked on the grass with a lead, though not permitted on the beach during summertime. The large car park and nearby bus stop make it easy to get to, and accessible facilities are in use for those with limitations – including a beach wheelchair, disabled toilets, and shower facilities. There’s a first aid station, plus two cafes and a picnic spot – plus unisex toilets (at the time of writing, requiring a 30p fee). Beach huts line up nicely along the promenade, completing a wonderful maritime experience for the whole family.
