Sugary and Castle Cove is a beach in Devon, England.

Nestled beneath the proud Dartmouth Castle, Castle Cove is a unique and serene beach flanked on either sides by awe-inspiring cliffs and trees. With its mixture of sand and pebbles, Castle Cove looks out on to the River Dart’s estuary. This tranquil beach is otherwise difficult to spot, as it is partly hidden by trees and there are no signposts pointing to it. To get to the beach, one must drive to the castle car park, about 100 meters away, before continuing the 5-10 minute walk downhill. Unfortunately, the pathway is not very suitable for pushchairs or those with limited mobility. During the journey, visitors have the added bonus of experiencing several other coves; among them are Sugary Cove, Deadmans Cove, and Ladies Cove. However, when visiting Castle Cove, one must always check the movements of the tide, as the beach can quickly vanish when the water advances. All are welcome to this beach, including our four-legged friends! So come and savour the beautiful scenery of Castle Cove today!
